Testing of Hypothesis for 𝛂 in case of simple

linear regression line.

Step 1:- Test of Hypothesis for 𝛂

1. H0 : α = 32 vs H1 : α ≠ 32
2. H0 : α ≤ 32 vs H1 : α > 32
3. H0 : α ≥ 32 vs H1 : α < 32

Step 2:- Level of significance

𝛼=0.05

Step 3:- Test Statistic

Step 4:- calculations

Using step four test statistic formulas.
 Step 5:- Decision rule
Here we decide about rejection of Null hypothesis, on the basis of assumption .

that alpha is 32 for true population on the
basis of 5% level of significance.
