Main Teaching Activities and Time Allocation 主要教学活动和时间分配

Binomial CDF Calculation Practice (Example 7): Worked through Example 7, focusing on calculating P(X <= 2) and P(X >= 5) using the binomial CDF function. Emphasized the necessary algebraic manipulation for P(X >= 5) to become 1 - P(X <= 4).

二项分布 CDF 计算练习 (例 7)： 讲解并练习例 7，重点是使用二项 CDF 函数计算 P(X <= 2) 和 P(X >= 5)。强调 P(X >= 5) 需要代数转化成 1 - P(X <= 4)。

Working Backwards (Example 7c): Analyzed part (c) of Example 7: finding the minimum number of reds (W) needed for the probability of winning (P(X >= W)) to be less than 0.05. Involved manipulating the inequality to P(X <= W-1) > 0.95 and iterative testing to find W=7.

逆向求解 (例 7c)： 分析例 7 的第 (c) 部分：找出赢得奖品所需的最小红球数 (W)，使得 P(X >= W) < 0.05。涉及不等式操作到 P(X <= W-1) > 0.95，并通过迭代测试找到 W=7。

Review of Binomial Range Calculations (Example Follow-up): Briefly reviewed how to calculate P(k <= X <= r) by subtracting CDF values (e.g., P(X<=r) - P(X<=k-1)). Teacher noted this is less crucial for the next chapter (Hypothesis Testing).

二项区间计算回顾 (例题后续)： 简要回顾如何通过相减 CDF 值来计算 P(k <= X <= r) (例如 P(X<=r) - P(X<=k-1))。教师指出这对下一章（假设检验）的重要性较低。

Introduction to Hypothesis Testing (Example 1): Introduced the concept of hypothesis testing, defining H0 (null) and H1 (alternative) hypotheses, test statistic (X), and significance level. Used a coin bias example (P=0.5) to illustrate the setup for a one-tailed test.

假设检验介绍 (例 1)： 介绍假设检验概念，定义 H0（零假设）和 H1（备择假设）、检验统计量 (X) 和显著性水平。使用抛硬币偏斜的例子 (P=0.5) 说明单尾检验的设置。

Effectiveness of Teaching Methods 教学方法的有效性

The pace was managed well, allowing sufficient time to review the complex probability calculations before smoothly transitioning to the new hypothesis testing material. 课程节奏控制得当，在平稳过渡到新的假设检验材料之前，为复习复杂的概率计算留出了足够的时间。
The teacher effectively used real-world examples (spinner, coin bias) to contextualize abstract probability concepts. 教师有效地利用现实世界的例子（旋转盘、硬币偏斜）来情境化抽象的概率概念。

Teaching Pace and Time Management 教学节奏和时间管理

The pace was appropriate for Example 7, with more time dedicated to the challenging part (7c). 例 7 的节奏恰当，对更具挑战性的部分 (7c) 分配了更多时间。
The transition to Hypothesis Testing was slightly quick, focusing primarily on definitions rather than immediate application. 向假设检验的过渡略显仓促，主要侧重于定义而非即时应用。

5. Subsequent Teaching Suggestions 5. 后续教学建议

Teaching Strengths 教学优势

Next Teaching Focus 下一步教学重点

Deep dive into the formal mechanics of Hypothesis Testing, specifically focusing on selecting the correct rejection region and using the significance level to draw conclusions (H0 vs H1). 深入研究假设检验的正式机制，重点关注选择正确的拒绝域并使用显著性水平得出结论（H0 与 H1）。
Applying binomial hypothesis testing to full exam-style questions (e.g., Question 6 style). 将二项分布假设检验应用于完整的考试风格问题（例如例 6 的风格）。

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

Binomial Calculations: 二项分布计算：

Always explicitly define the distribution before calculating: X ~ Bin(n=12, p=0.3) for Example 7. 在计算之前，务必明确定义分布：对于例 7，应明确写出 X ~ Bin(n=12, p=0.3)。
When working backwards (finding K or W), clearly state the inequality manipulation steps (e.g., P(X>=W) < 0.05 => P(X<=W-1) > 0.95) before testing values. 在反向求解 (K 或 W) 时，在测试数值之前，请明确写出不等式转换步骤（例如 P(X>=W) < 0.05 => P(X<=W-1) > 0.95）。

Hypothesis Testing Setup: 假设检验设置：

For future hypothesis testing questions, practice stating the Null Hypothesis (H0) as an equality (p = value) and the Alternative Hypothesis (H1) as a strict inequality (<, >, or !=). 对于未来的假设检验问题，练习将零假设 (H0) 陈述为等式 (p = 值)，将备择假设 (H1) 陈述为严格不等式 (<, >, 或 !=)。
Memorize the link between the question's wording (e.g., 'biased towards heads') and the correct alternative hypothesis (H1: p > 0.5). 记住问题措辞（例如“偏向正面”）与正确的备择假设 (H1: p > 0.5) 之间的联系。
