STATE YOUR HYPOTHESIS STEP

Null Hypothesis (Ho): There is no relationship or significant alternative being claimed.

Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): Claims a relationship or significant alternative. 01

IDENTIFY CONFIDENCE LEVEL STEP
Choose a significance level to determine the threshold at which the
null
hypothesis can be accepted or rejected.
02
CALCULATE TEST STATISTIC STEP
Based on the characteristics of the data and the research question,
select an appropriate test statistic. Common test statistics include 03
the Z-test and the T-test.

DECISION RULE
STEP
The decision rule is established to determine whether to reject or
fail to reject the null hypothesis based on the observed data.
04
f the test statistic falls within the critical region, reject the null
hypothesis. If it falls outside the critical region, fail to reject the null
hypothesis.

COMPUTE THE CRITICAL VALUE

To compute the critical value in hypothesis testing, the specific test and
distribution need to be considered. The method varies depending on the test STEP
used, such as Z-tests and T-tests. It represents the probability of obtaining
results as extreme as the observed ones, assuming the null hypothesis is 05
true.
The critical value also serves as the threshold for rejecting the null
hypothesis.
