Specific Suggestions for Student's Needs 针对学生需求的具体建议

Hypothesis Setup & Logic: 假设设置与逻辑：

When practicing one-sided tests, clearly write down the meaning of H1 (e.g., H1: p < 0.3 means 'the proportion has decreased'). 练习单尾检验时，清晰写下H1的含义（例如：H1: p < 0.3 意味着‘比例下降了’）。
For two-sided tests, explicitly state the two rejection regions (e.g., P(X<=a) and P(X>=b)) before calculating the actual significance level. 对于双尾检验，在计算实际显著性水平之前，明确写出两个拒绝域（例如：P(X<=a) 和 P(X>=b)）。

Calculation Precision: 计算精度：

Ensure the correct use of cumulative functions (e.g., for P(X>=19) you must use 1 - P(X<=18)). 确保正确使用累积函数（例如，对于 P(X>=19)，必须使用 1 - P(X<=18)）。
