    This document outlines the steps for hypothesis testing and provides 3 examples. It discusses: 1) defining the null and alternative hypotheses, 2) choosing a significance level, 3) determining the critical region, 4) computing the z-value, 5) deciding whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis, and 6) stating a conclusion. It then presents 3 problems applying these steps to test claims about: faculty approval rates, unemployment rates, and rates of left-handedness in a population.

    HYPOTHESIS TESTING STEPS:

    Step 1: Null and Alternative Hypothesis

    Step 2: Level of Significance

    Step 3: Determine the Critical Region

    Step 4: Compute the z-value

    Step 5: Decide whether to accept or reject Ho.

    Step 6: Conclusion
    Problem 1:
    The president of a university is in need of an academic vice president and
    wants the approval of more than 50% of the faculty for his candidate. He
    wants statistical significance and the absolute value. Out of 120 randomly
    selected faculty members, 55 approved. Is this sufficient to appoint the
    candidate? Use 0.05 level of significance.
    Problem 2:
    Suppose the national unemployment rate is 3.5%. In a survey of n = 450
    people in a rural Wisconsin county, 22 people are found to be unemployed.
    County officials apply for state aid based on the claim that the local
    unemployment rate is higher than the national average. Test this claim at
    the .05 significance level.
    Problem 3:
    A random sample of n = 750 people is selected, of whom 92 are left-
    handed. Use these sample data to test the claim that 10% of the
    population is left handed.
