For anyone who has ever taught Statistics, getting your students to remember all of the steps involved in confidence intervals and hypothesis testing is IMPOSSIBLE! When I was doing my AP Calculus teacher institute at Davidson College, I met this awesome statistics teacher who shared these with me. For Confidence Intervals, always make your students PANIC: P - state your parameter(s) A - state and justify your assumptions N - name your interval I - find your interval C - write a conclusion in context of the problem For Hypothesis Testing, get your kids to follow PHANTOMS: P - parameters H - hypotheses A - assumptions N - name your test T - find your test statistic O - obtain your p-value M - make a decision (reject or fail to reject) S - state a conclusion in the context of the problem I hope this helps you! It certainly changed my 2's and 3's into 4's and 5's!! |
