Hypothesis
|
Statement about a apopulation parameter subject to verification
|
What is hypothesis testing
|
A procedure based on sample evedence and probability theory to determine whether the hyphtesis is a reasonable statement
|
Hypothesis testing not not try to prove a statement, instead it provides a
|
Proof beyond a reasonable doubt
|
What are the 5 steps? in order
|
Step:
1. state a null and alternate hypothesis 2. select a level of significance 3. indentify the test statistic 4. formulate a decision rule 5. take a sample arrive at a decision a. do not reject Ho b. reject Ho accept H1 |
Step 1. state the null hypthesis and the alter hypthesis
|
X
|
Null hypthsis
|
A statement about the vlaue of a population parameter developed for the purpose of testing numberical evidence.
|
Ho
|
Null hypothesis, h sub zero
|
Failed to disprove Ho
|
Ho is not true
|
What does the the "o" stand for?
|
Not or no,
no change |
How do normally start a null hypothesis
|
There is no significant difference between
|
The sample statistic is normally different then the
|
Population parameter
|
Alternative
|
A statement that is accepted if the sample data provide sufficient eveidence that the null hypothesis is false
you have rejected the null hypothesis |
H sub one
|
H1: also called the research hypthesis
|
When do you choose the alter nate hypothesis?
|
If the sample data provide us with enough statistical evidence that the null hypo is false
|
Ho: u=15
|
The equal sign ALWAYS goes with the null hyppthesis
