Hypothesis Testing Methods Explained

This document introduces hypothesis testing, which is a statistical method used to make decisions using experimental data. It involves assuming a null hypothesis about a population parameter and then testing it. There are three main methods: traditional, p-value, and confidence interval. The steps in conducting hypothesis testing are to 1) state the null and alternative hypotheses, 2) choose a significance level and sample size, 3) determine the test statistic and sampling distribution, 4) determine critical values, 5) collect data and compute the test statistic, 6) make a statistical decision, and 7) state the conclusion. The document provides an example of testing the effect of modular instruction on student academic performance.

Hypothesis Testing

 Isa statistical method that is used in making


statistical decisions using experimental data.

 Itis basically an assumption that we make about the


population parameter.
Three Methods to Test Hypotheses

1. Traditional Method – is the most widely used especially in


statistics books and instructional manuals.
2. P-value
Method – becomes popular since the advent of
modern computer and high-powered statistical software’s.
3. Confidence Interval Method – is explained after the p-value
and some illustrative examples were discussed to show its
relationship with hypothesis testing.
Steps in Conducting Hypothesis Testing

1. State the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis


(H1).
Ex. To test the effect of modular instruction on the academic
performance of the students
H0: There is no significant difference on the academic performance of the students who are exposed to
modular instruction than those who are not exposed to the same.

H1: There is significant difference on the academic performance of the students who are exposed to modular
instruction than those who are not exposed to the same.
2. Choose the level of significance, a, and the sample size.
Level of significance – refers to the degree of significance in which we accept or
reject the null hypothesis (1% or 5%)

3. Determine the test statistic and sampling distribution.

4. Determine the critical values that divide the rejection and nonrejection
regions.
Critical value – expressed as z value
5. Collect the data and compute the value of the test statistic.

6. Make a statistical decision.

7. State the conclusion.
