The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale labels hurricanes with a 1-5 rating based on their intensity. The overall probability that a hurricane is rated 1-4 is 0.985. The probability of a hurricane hitting Florida is 0.32. The probability that a hurricane is rated a 5 and misses Florida is 0.01.

Hits Florida 0.005 0.315 0.32Misses Florida 0.01 0.67 0.68

Students will understand the p-value is the probability of getting a sample statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true. Students will understand p-value rules for decisions to reject or not to reject the null hypothesis. Students will decide whether a Type I error (occurs when you reject the null hypothesis when it is true) and a Type II error (occurs if you do not reject the null hypothesis when it is false) have occurred in the outcome of the hypothesis testing.
