    Data Project 2: Hypothesis Testing Theory and Hypotheses In a few short paragraphs, re-state your theory, your null hypothesis, and your alternative hypothes(es). Hypothesis Testing 1) Conduct a basic bivariate hypothesis test showing the relationship between your independent variable and your dependent variable. Explain why you chose the test you did, and what it shows.

    8.2 FOUR STEPS TO HYPOTHESIS TESTING The goal of hypothesis testing is to determine the likelihood that a population parameter, such as the mean, is likely to be true. In this section, we describe the four steps of hypothesis testing that were briefly introduced in Section 8.1: Step 1: State the hypotheses. Step 2: Set the criteria for a decision.

    Hypothesis testing will rely extensively on the idea that, having a pdf, one can compute the probability of all the corresponding events. Make sure you understand this point before going ahead. We have seen that the pdf of a random variable synthesizes all the probabilities of realization of the underlying events.

    no reason to doubt that the null hypothesis is true. Similarly, if the observed data is "inconsistent" with the null hypothesis (in our example, this means that the sam-ple mean falls outside the interval (90.2, 109.8)), then either a rare event has occurred (rareness is judged by thresholds 0.05 or 0.01) and the null hypothesis is true,

    The intent of hypothesis testing is formally examine two opposing conjectures (hypotheses), H0 and HA. These two hypotheses are mutually exclusive and exhaustive so that one is true to the exclusion of the other. We accumulate evidence - collect and analyze sample information - for the purpose of determining which of the two hypotheses is true ...

    the value specified by H0 is called a two-sided (or two-tailed) test, e.g. H0: µ = 100 HA: µ <> 100 I. Whether you use a 1-tailed or 2-tailed test depends on the nature of the problem. Usually we use a 2-tailed test. A 1-tailed test typically requires a little more theory. Introduction to Hypothesis Testing - Page 1

    Effect size. Significance tests inform us about the likelihood of a meaningful difference between groups, but they don't always tell us the magnitude of that difference. Because any difference will become "significant" with an arbitrarily large sample, it's important to quantify the effect size that you observe.

    What is hypothesis testing?(cont.) The hypothesis we want to test is if H 1 is \likely" true. So, there are two possible outcomes: Reject H 0 and accept 1 because of su cient evidence in the sample in favor or H 1; Do not reject H 0 because of insu cient evidence to support H 1.

    23.1 How Hypothesis Tests Are Reported in the News 1. Determine the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. 2. Collect and summarize the data into a test statistic. 3. Use the test statistic to determine the p-value. 4. The result is statistically significant if the p-value is less than or equal to the level of significance.
