Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:

Techniques for conducting randomized experiments.
Techniques for conducting simulations of randomized experiment situations.

Skills

Students are able to:

Design and conduct randomized experiments with two treatments.
Draw conclusions from comparisons of the data of the randomized experiment.
Design, conduct, and use the results from simulations of a randomized experiment situation to evaluate the significance of the identified differences.

Understanding

Students understand that:

Differences of two treatments can be justified by a significant difference of parameters from a randomized experiment.
Statistical analysis and data displays often reveal patterns in data or populations, enabling predictions.

Vocabulary
