LESSON 2: Formulating Hypotheses

and Test Statistic
RECALL:
 EXPECTATIONS:
After exploring this supplementary learning material, you should be able to:

1. formulate the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses on a population

mean.

2. identify the appropriate form of the test-statistic when:

(a) the population variance is assumed to be known;

(b) the population variance is assumed to be unknown; and

(c) the Central Limit Theorem is to be used.

 LOOKING BACK
*Hypothesis Testing is a statistical procedure of testing a claim using experimental
data to assume about the population parameter to arrive at a statistical decision.
*Null hypothesis, denoted by H0, is defined as a hypothesis of no difference. It
assumes that the observations are only due to a chance factor.
*Alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1, is the opposite of the null hypothesis. It
states that there is a significant difference and that observations are the result of a
real effect.
*If H1 is bidirectional, then it is a two-tailed test. On the other hand, if H1 is
directional, then it is a one-tailed test.
*Type I error is a type of error in which the null hypothesis is rejected when it is true.
*Type II error is a type of error in which the null hypothesis is accepted when it is
false.
