Hypothesis Testing

Overview: This section covers the process of hypothesis testing in statistics.

  • What is Hypothesis Testing?
    • A method for testing a claim or hypothesis about a parameter in a population using sample data.
  • Steps in Hypothesis Testing:
    • Formulate Null and Alternative Hypotheses: The null hypothesis (H0) represents no effect or no difference, while the alternative hypothesis (H1) represents the opposite.
    • Choose a Significance Level (α): Commonly set at 0.05 or 0.01.
    • Calculate the Test Statistic: Based on the sample data.
    • Make a Decision: Compare the test statistic to a critical value to accept or reject the null hypothesis.
  • Real-Life Example:
    • A company may test whether a new advertising campaign leads to higher sales compared to the previous campaign by conducting a hypothesis test.
