Song: Hypothesis on Trial

A song for use in helping students to identify counterparts in the courtroom analogy for hypothesis tests (innocence ≈ null; acquit ≈ fail to reject; etc…) and to identify errors of Type I and II in context.  Lyrics by Larry Lesser and music by Larry Lesser and Dominic Sousa in 2015, both from The University of Texas at El Paso.  This song is part of an NSF-funded library of interactive songs that involved students creating responses to prompts that are then included in the lyrics (see www.causeweb.org/smiles for the interactive version of the song, a short reading covering the topic, and an assessment item).
