Hypothesis Testing

This document discusses hypothesis testing and significance testing. It explains that hypothesis testing allows researchers to make inferences about a population by examining results from a sample. The document outlines the four steps of hypothesis testing: 1) design a hypothesis, 2) collect data, 3) test the hypothesis using statistical methods, 4) make a decision about the hypothesis based on the results. An example is provided about using hypothesis testing to examine whether the average number of times Americans check their phone per day matches a previous study's results.

Hypothesis Testing

Why Significance Testing ?
• Significance testing allows us to examine results from a sample of people, and
make inferences about the total population.

– Significance tests ask: Given the differences observed in our sample, what are the odds
that there are no true differences in the population?

Scenarios for hypothesis testing
A recent national study found that the average American between the ages of 18 and
24 checks their phone 74 times per day. A mobile service provider questions these results
As you can see, we have two rejections areas here, one rejection area in the positive
direction, greater than the mean. The other in the negative direction, less than the
mean. This is considered a two tailed test because the null hypothesis is tested in both
directions
