This chapter explains the structure/steps of hypothesis testing, the concept of significance, the relationship between confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, and Type I/II errors.

This text explains the differences between t-tests, z-tests, tests with proportions, and tests of correlation.
Measures of the size of an effect based on the degree of overlap between groups usually involve calculating the proportion of the variance that can be explained by differences between groups. This resource outlines different approaches to measuring this proportion.
A collection of Java applets and simulations covering a range of topics (descriptive statistics, confidence intervals, regression, effect size, ANOVA, etc.).
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).
A song for use in helping students to reason about how larger sample sizes decrease the p-value, all else being equal.

G*Power is a tool to compute statistical power analyses for many different t tests, F tests, χ2 tests, ztests and some exact tests. G*Power can also be used to compute effect sizes and to display graphically the results of power analyses.
This site offers separate webpages about statistical topics relevant to those studying psychology such as research design, representing data with graphs, hypothesis testing, and many more elementary statistics concepts. Homework problems are provided for each section.
This handout lists the most commonly used effect sizes, adjustments, and rules of thumb concerning sample size calculation.
