DISCUSSION 1:

Errors in Hypothesis Testing

In §9.2 the concepts of Type I and Type II errors are introduced.

Now consider the situation where a husband and wife go to the doctor’s office to each get some tests run and the doctor accidently mixes up their charts. The doctor comes into the exam room with the results of the tests and declares that the wife is NOT pregnant but her husband IS indeed pregnant with a baby.

How does this illustrate the concepts behind Type I and Type II errors?

With this situation in mind, what type of error (Type I or Type II) is worse? Explain your reasoning.

DISCUSSION 2:

Revision Plan

This week, you will consider how to improve your paper. First, review the Course Objectives (from the syllabus, and weekly “Getting Started” modules) to remind yourself about the goals of this course. Next, review the tips for revision, editing, and proofreading from the reading this week. Now consider the feedback you received on your rough draft. In your initial post to this discussion forum, discuss your rough draft in terms of the following Course Objectives:

Finding Sources

Analyzing Published Works

Effective Writing

Presenting an Argument

Identify three ways that you will apply what you have learned from the reading (be specific) to help you create the final draft of your paper (the researched argument, Week 8 assignment). Your discussion should display your knowledge of the reading.
