Hypothesis testing (new A level) - notes, examples, exercises. MCQs and a homework/test

This 17-page resource covers all the required knowledge and techniques for hypothesis testing in the AS part of the new A level. It contains detailed notes, examples to work through with your class, and exercises of questions for students to attempt themselves (answers included).

The topics covered are:

1. Sampling - different methods of sampling, biased and representative samples
2. Unbiased estimators - estimating the population mean and variance from a sample
3. Setting up a hypothesis test - null and alternative hypotheses
4. Making a conclusion - p-values, significance levels, 1-tail and 2-tail tests
5. Critical regions - finding the critical region for a hypothesis test
6. Significance levels and errors - probability of incorrectly rejecting null hypothesis, nominal vs actual significance level

This projectable and printable resource will save you having to write out or create any notes/examples when teaching this topic. It also increases how much you can get through in lessons as students don't have to copy notes/questions and can work directly onto spaces provided for solutions. You could also email/print some or all of this for students who have missed lessons or need additional notes/practice/revision.

The second resource is a set of multiple-choice questions that can be used a quick assessment or as part of a revision/refresher lesson.

There is also a 6-page resource which contains lots of practice of problems that involve estimating population parameters from sample data (answers are included).

Also included is a 2-page assessment that covers the whole topic. Fully worked solutions are included.

Here is an example of one of my A level resources that is freely available:
