In Chapter 8 we used methods of estimating the value of a parameter.. In this chapter, we are drawing inferences about the parameter by making decisions concerning the value of the parameter. Two Hypothesis:. STAT 250. Dr. Kari Lock Morgan. SECTION 4.3. Significance level (4.3). Statistical conclusions (4.3). p-value and H. 0. If the p-value is small, then a statistic as extreme as that observed would be unlikely if the null hypothesis were true, providing significant evidence against H. STAT 250. Dr. Kari Lock Morgan. SECTION 4.1. Hypothesis test. . Null and alternative hypotheses. . Statistical significance. Tea and the Immune System. L-. theanine. is an amino acid found in tea. Mr. Mark Anthony Garcia, M.S.. Mathematics Department. De La Salle University. Situation: Hypothesis Testing. Suppose that a political analyst predicted that senatorial candidate A will top the upcoming senatorial elections in city X with at least 0.70 or 70% of the votes.. 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:. 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). b. elieve it (or not). Our belief decision must ultimately stand on three legs:. What does our general background knowledge and experience tell us (for example, what is the reputation of the speaker)?. Inferential statistics. :. Based on laws of probability. Used to estimate population parameters from sample statistics . When different researchers apply inferential statistics to the same data resulting conclusions likely to be the same. Test of hypothesis - Test whether a population parameter is less than, equal to, or greater than a specified value.. Remember an inference without a measure of reliability is little more than a guess.. 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.. Remember: We are asking ourselves “What would happen if we repeated the sample or the experiment many times?”. 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?. Evaluating Differences and Changes. “Our overall customer satisfaction score increased from 92 percent 3 months ago to 93.5 percent today.” . Did customer satisfaction really increase? Should we celebrate?. A nuclear power plant adjacent to a residential area. STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS. (Hypothesis testing for a single population).

In general, we do not know the true value of population parameters - they must be estimated. However, we do have hypotheses about what the true values are. B. The major
