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
