Statistical Thinking [Professor Name] [Class and Section Number] Today’s Learning Objectives 1. Define basic elements of a statistical investigation. 2. Describe the role of p-values and confidence intervals in statistical inference. 3. Describe the role of random sampling in generalizing conclusions from a sample to a population. 4. Describe the role of random assignment in drawing cause-and-effect conclusions. 5. Critique statistical studies. Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics (SATS) Scale Think Pair Share These questions are designed to identify your attitudes towards statistics. Overview • Introduction • Key Components to a Statistical Investigation • Distributional Thinking • Statistical Significance • Control, Probability, Level of Significance • Generalizability • Samples and Populations, Random Sample, Margin of Error • Cause and Effect • Statistical Tendency, Random Assignment Introduction 6 cups of coffee: Men 10% lower chance of dying Women 15% lower chance of dying Does this mean you should start drinking coffee or increase your own coffee habit? Key Components to a Statistical Investigation Planning the study Examining the data Inferring from the data Drawing Conclusions Overview • Introduction • Key components to a Statistical Investigation • Distributional Thinking • Statistical Significance • Control, Probability, Level of Significance • Generalizability • Samples and Populations, Random Sample, Margin of Error • Cause and Effect • Statistical Tendency, Random Assignment Distributional Thinking Analyzing the pattern of data variation, called the distribution of the variable, often reveals insights. Develop an example of a distribution, of one variable, that you often encounter in your life. What is the variable and how does it vary? Distributional Thinking Table 1. Frequency tables of patient reading levels and pamphlet readability levels. Figure 1. Comparison of patient reading levels and pamphlet readability levels. Collect and Display Data How many concerts did you go to this past year? – Write your answer down and turn it in What is the best way to visually represent the information? What single score best represents the data? How much variability is in the data? Distributional Thinking Task Performance Tables and graphs are often presented in mass media; sometimes accurately, sometimes not. 1. What should you look for when examining this data to interpret it correctly? 2. How are people able to manipulate visual depictions of statistics to skew conclusions? Overview • Introduction • Key Components to a Statistical Investigation • Distributional Thinking • Statistical Significance • Control, Probability, Level of Significance • Generalizability • Samples and Populations, Random Sample, Margin of Error • Cause and Effect • Statistical Tendency, Random Assignment Statistical Significance Control Are there other variables in the infant study that the researchers missed? Probability/ p-value P-Value extravaganza Level of Significance p < .05 Overview • Introduction • Key Components to a Statistical Investigation • Distributional Thinking • Statistical Significance • Control, Probability, Level of Significance • Generalizability • Samples and Populations, Random Sample, Margin of Error • Cause and Effect • Statistical Tendency, Random Assignment Generalizability Samples and Populations Generalizability How similar does a sample need to be to the population? Can you generalize from one class to the whole grade? Random Sample Margin of Error Overview • Introduction • Key Components to a Statistical Investigation • Distributional Thinking • Statistical Significance • Control, Probability, Level of Significance • Generalizability • Samples and Populations, Random Sample, Margin of Error • Cause and effect • Statistical Tendency, Random Assignment Cause and Effect Statistical Tendency Random Assignment If the p-value is small (under .05) the observed mean scores were not coincidental Activity: Popular Press Statistics CAT: The Muddiest Point What was the muddiest point about today’s class?
