PPT-What is a Hypothesis?

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. 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. . ©2013 Michael J. Rosenfeld. Draft date: 1/14/2013. The sample frame, or sample universe, is the data that our sample is drawn from. In the case of the March, 2000 CPS, the sample universe includes all people residing in the US in March, 2000, who were not living in institutional settings. This sample frame has N members.. .

A good hypothesis translates a problem or research question into a form that is more amendable to testing. Hypothesis: a reasonable statement that can be tested (predicts). Law: statement or mathematical expression of something that always happens; testable (describes). Theory: broad generalization that is based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning; not testable; is modified as new information is discovered (explains). nd. type of formal statistical inference. Our goal is to assess the evidence provided by data from a sample about some claim concerning the population..
