    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.
