Statistical Significance and Spinner Simulation

These flashcards cover important vocabulary related to statistical significance and the process of simulating spins of a spinner.

Statistically Significant

A difference in responses between groups in an experiment that is not due to chance variation.

Simulation Process for Spinner Spins

Assign different numbers to 4 sections of a spinner and record the corresponding letter for each spin using a random number table.

What is a statistical experiment?

An experiment involving a set of procedures to test a hypothesis, collect data, and draw conclusions, often involving random assignment to different groups.

What is the primary purpose of a simulation?

To model a real-world process or system to study its behavior and predict outcomes, especially when direct experimentation is impractical, costly, or dangerous.
