Study Notes
Hypothesis Testing Basics
- Hypothesis testing is a procedure to determine whether a hypothesis is true or not, based on observed data and statistical analysis.
Hypothesis
- A hypothesis is a specific, testable prediction made about a population based on a theory or assumption.
Null Hypothesis
- A null hypothesis is a hypothesis that suggests there is no significant difference or relationship between variables, often denoted as H0.
Hypothesis Testing Outcomes
- If the predictions are consistent with the data, the null hypothesis is not rejected, indicating that there is no significant difference or relationship.
Basis for Developing Hypotheses
- The basis for developing hypotheses is often based on theoretical frameworks, research questions, or practical problems that need to be addressed.
- Hypotheses can also be developed through observation, literature reviews, and exploratory data analysis.
