Computer Simulation of the Testing of a Statistical Hypothesis.

Peer reviewed

Flusser, Peter; Hanna, Dorothy – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1991

Demonstrated is the use of BASIC computer programs to simulate a binomial experiment and test a simple statistical hypothesis. The theoretical results are reached with the third programing attempt. All results, as well as computer programs, are included. (JJK)
