2. Discuss how to use standard deviation and normal distribution to determine whether a
difference is significant. (Assignments: Mean and Standard Deviation Problem Set, Bacterial
Culture, Decisions With Deviation)
3. Discuss how to calculate 2 and how it can be used to measure weirdness. ( Assignments:
How Does 2 Work?, Measuring Weirdness With 2 , A Probability Table, Late In the Day)
4. Discuss how to use proportional reasoning to determine expected values in a two population
case. (Assignments: What Would You expect?, Whos Absent?, Big and Strong, and
Delivering Results).

Null Hypothesis:
Most of the time, the researcher
starts out with a neutral
assumption that precedes data
collection. The neutral assumption
is the Null Hypothesis.
Sample Fluctuation:
Is the notion that if you take
different (random) samples from a
large population, you would expect
to see some variation in the data
you collected, (do not expect all
samples to be exactly the same)
2.Discuss how to use standard deviation and
normal distribution to determine whether a
difference is significant.
Standard Deviation:
This is a set of data that measures
how spread out the data is. In
other words it says whether all the
data items bunch around close to
the mean or if they are all over
the place.
Normal Deviation:
When many measurements of the same
things are taken, the data fits a
normal distribution.
By using standard deviation and
normal distribution you can figure
out whether the difference is
significant or not. In Bacterial
Culture we had to take the average
number (1000) and the standard
deviation (50) to make a graph.
This graph was used to help
determine percentages that help
find out if the difference is
significant.
For normal distribution it helps
measure variation in science and
math.
