PPT-6.2 Tests of Significance

Formalizing We saw in the last section how to find a confidence interval In this section we use the confidence interval to come up with a formal test to be able to say whether or not we think a sample is representative of the population We assume n is at least 30 and hence may use s to estimate . The current debate about null hypothesis significance testing (often referred to as NHST) reminds us of a struggle that ends in an impasse between the critics and the defenders.
