    This document outlines the steps for conducting a hypothesis test concerning a single mean: 1) state the null and alternative hypotheses, where the null is that the population mean equals a specific value; 2) choose a significance level; 3) calculate the test statistic, which is either a t-statistic or z-statistic depending on sample size; 4) identify the critical region for rejecting the null hypothesis based on the test statistic and significance level. The decision is to reject the null if the test statistic falls in the critical region.

    Lesson 3: Hypothesis Concerning Single Mean

    Steps in Hypothesis Testing Single mean


    i) Null Hypothesis µ=µ0
    ii) Alternative Hypothesis µ<µ 0
    µ>µ 0
    µ≠ µ0
    iii) Significance level (α)
    iv) Test Statistic x−μ
    t c= −, n<30
    s/ √ n
    or
    x−μ
    z c= , n>30
    σ / √n
    v) Critical Region
    Reject
    H o if |t c|>t(α , df=n−1) or
    |z c|>z (α=0.05 )=1.65
    |z c|>z (α=0.025)=1.96
    |z c|>z (α=0.01 )=2.33
    |z c|>z (α=0.005)=2.575

    vi) Decision
    If
    H o is true then
    μ=μ o
