7. Create appropriate hypothesis test regarding one population parameter
   1. Test claims about population proportions, means, and standard deviations
   2. Evaluate claims about population proportions, means, and standard deviations using p-values
   3. Discuss potential Type I and Type II errors of hypothesis tests
   4. Support statistical inference by using confidence intervals
8. Create appropriate hypothesis test regarding two population parameters
   1. Test claims about the difference of two independent means and proportions
   2. Perform a matched pairs t-test
   3. Assess claims about two population variances or standard deviations using the F-distribution
   4. Use a chi-square distribution to conduct a goodness-of-fit test and test of independence
   5. Support statistical inference by using confidence intervals
9. Evaluate linear correlation and linear models
