Numbers 1.7

Today we were given a scenario in which a professor wanted to know whether he should keep the prerequisite of a course.  In our case, the null hypothesis, which is the commonly held view, is students needed to take College Algebra before taking an Introductory Statistics course.  The alternative hypothesis, which is always opposite the null, would be that College Algebra is not needed as a prerequisite. We were provided pass/fail figures of students that took College algebra and those who didn't.   We then entered our data into the online Chi-squared calculator to analyze data.  In this case the Null was confirmed. Students should be required to take the prerequisite




A scenario that I could use in my computer class would be: Is it necessary for students to do the 3 sets of training sessions I require them to complete before taking a Microsoft Office Specialist test. 





This project is most closely related to ISTE-2  design and develop digital learning experiences and assessments.  We learned how to assess data which could lead us to best classroom practices.
