Q

Conclusion sentence frame

A

Because our p-value of X is greater/less than our alpha level of 0.05, we reject/fail to reject H0. We do/don’t have convincing that (HA in context)

Q

If it’s an experiment…

A

checking independence/10% condition is unnecessary, use p-hat-c in place of parameter(s)

Q

If conditions are not met…

results of a simulation will be given. Find probability of sample statistic from simulation (p-hat/times simulation was run)
