Find a dataset: approximately 30-100 scores or observations. Write a null and alternative hypothesis, conduct a statistical significance test (in SPSS or Excel), and tell what decision you'd make about the null hypothesis, and why. You'll need to include your SPSS or Excel output.
To extend the analogy even further--the evidence needed to reject the presumption of innocence is guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The evidence needed to reject the null hypothesis is an inferential statistical result that is very unlikely to have occurred by chance alone (i.e., less than 5 times out of 100, or p<.05).
