How to use this Year 12 hypothesis testing quiz

First, answer every question without a calculator unless the question says so. Then check your answer and read the short explanation. If you get fewer than 7 right, revise the hypothesis testing lesson and try again later. After that, try the multiple choice questions or the hypothesis testing worksheet.

Finally, take this quiz again before a test, because quick retrieval helps you remember. Moreover, all the pages of this chapter work together, so you can move between them at any time. For example, many pupils read the lesson on Monday, practise on Wednesday and test themselves on Friday.
