Hypothesis Testing: Basic Concepts and Tests of Association

Assumption (hypothesis) made about a population parameter (not sample parameter)

 

Purpose of Hypothesis Testing

To make a judgment about the difference between two sample statistics or between sample statistic and a hypothesized population parameter

 

Evidence has to be evaluated statistically before arriving at a conclusion regarding the hypothesis.

Depends on whether information generated from the sample is with fewer or larger observations
