I have always introduced estimation, point and interval, prior to 
Statistical Hypothesis Inference Testing.  After introducing hypothesis 
testing, I note that once one has a confidence interval, e can generally decide 
whether or not a hypothesis fits well with the observed data or not, no pee 
necessary.

I was at the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association meeting last weekend, and 
there was a talk on confidence intervals. It got me thinking about teaching 
about confidence intervals before I get to hypothesis testing and then 
integrating it with each hypothesis test we do.

Has anyone out there done that? How did it go? Have you found a book that may 
be does something like that? Thanks,

Marte
