Hypothesis. testing. The process of making judgments about a large group (population) on the basis of a small subset of that group (sample) is known as statistical inference.. Hypothesis testing, one of two fields in statistical inference, allows us to objectively assess the probability that statements about a population are true. . . Testing.

VON CHRISTOPHER G. CHUA, LPT, MST. Affiliate, ESSU-Graduate School. MAED 602: STATISTICAL METHODS. Session Objectives. In this fraction of the course on Statistical Methods, graduate students enrolled in the subject are expected to do the following:. How does a hypothesis begin?. What do you do with it?. How do you make one?. How does a hypothesis begin?. Scientists make lots of observations. This leads them to form scientific questions about what they have observed. Each scientist creates an explanation – or hypothesis – that he or she thinks will answer the question.. Ho - this hypothesis holds that if the data deviate from the norm in any way, that deviation is due strictly to chance.. Alternative hypothesis. Ha - the data show something important.. Doing decision = accept/reject Ho (the decision centers around null hypothesis). Writing a Hypothesis. Quick Questions. What do we remember about testable questions?. What is a hypothesis?. What do hypotheses have in common with testable questions?. How do we write a hypothesis?. Part I. Language Reflects Culture. Language tends to reflect the larger culture. Example:.
