Null Hypothesis Testing

This lecture discusses null hypothesis testing, Type I error, Type II error, and p values (27:59).

Bell Curve and Null Hypothesis Testing

This lecture provides an illustrative example of null hypothesis testing and how assumptions regarding the characteristics of the normal curve allow us to make inferences from a sample to the population (26:48).

Power and Effect Size

Lecture discusses power, ways to increase power, and advantages and disadvantages of each method. Also discusses effect size, Type II errors, α, and power (43:16).
