In this series, I’m compiling some of the quips and one-liners that I’ll use with my students to hopefully make my lessons more memorable for them.
Here are some sage words of wisdom that I give in my statistics class:
If the alternative hypothesis has the form , then the rejection region lies to the right of . On the other hand, if the alternative hypothesis has the form , then the rejection region lies to the left of .
On the other hand, if the alternative hypothesis has the form , then the rejection region has two parts: one part to the left of , and another part to the right. So it’s kind of like my single days. Back then, my rejection region had two parts: Friday night and Saturday night.
I'm a Professor of Mathematics and a University Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of North Texas. For eight years, I was co-director of Teach North Texas, UNT's program for preparing secondary teachers of mathematics and science.
