Making Comparisons between Observed Data and Expected Outcomes: Students’ Informal Hypothesis Testing with Probability Simulation Tools
We examined how middle school students reason about results from a computer-simulated die-tossing experiment, including various representations of data, to support or refute an assumption that the outcomes on a die are equiprobable. We used students’ actions with the software and their social interactions to infer their expectations and whether or not they believed their empirical data could be...

متن کاملOccupancy Numbers in Testing Random Number Generators
The classical occupancy problem where n balls are placed in N cells is used for testing of random number generators. We show that the statistics of appropriately chosen occupancy numbers are incompatible with the statistics of many pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) even if they are truncated. More than that, the incompatibility shows up on relatively small samples long before the period of...
متن کاملAppendix Probability and Hypothesis Testing in Biology Estimating Probability
In crossing his pea plants, Mendel obtained genetic ratios that were in excellent agreement with his model of factor segregation. Other workers soon obtained comparable results. The favorable agreement of data with theory reflected a basic property of Mendel’s model: if Mendelian factors are considered independent, then the probability of observing any one factor segregating among progeny must ...
متن کاملStatistical Testing of Random Number Generators
Abstract: Random Number Generators (RNGs) are an important building block for algorithms and protocols in cryptography. They are paramount in the construction of encryption keys and other cryptographic algorithm parameters. In practice, statistical testing is employed to gather evidence that a generator indeed produces numbers that appear to be random. Few resources are readily available to res...
