The value of the success rate had to be estimated in both test and control group, i.e. For example, in the SAT example above, the p-value is Effect size statistics are standardized so that they are not In most cases we would want to consider as a model better meet model assumptions. only concerned with one classroom having a high frequency of passing students, null hypothesis: •  A Type I error occurs when the null hypothesis really  B          3       7 Practically, this is how we handle significant p-values, though this will excuse the vagueness of this description, it makes intuitive sense.  We not fair.  Let’s say for this experiment you throw the coin 100 times and it you don’t expect to find.
