Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.
![Page 2: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Null Hypothesis: H0
a working hypothesis about the population parameter in
question
![Page 3: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The value specified in the null hypothesis is often:
• a historical value
• a claim
• a production specification
![Page 4: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Alternate Hypothesis: H1
any hypothesis that differs from the null hypothesis
![Page 5: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
An alternate hypothesis is constructed in such a way that
it is the one to be accepted when the null hypothesis must
be rejected.
![Page 6: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A manufacturer claims that their light bulbs burn for an average of 1000 hours. We have reason to believe that
the bulbs do not last that long.
Determine the null and alternate hypotheses.
![Page 7: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A manufacturer claims that their light bulbs burn for an average of 1000 hours. ...
The null hypothesis (the claim) is that the true average life is 1000
hours.
H0: = 1000
![Page 8: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
… A manufacturer claims that their light bulbs burn for an average of 1000 hours. We
have reason to believe that the bulbs do not last that long. ...If we reject the manufacturer’s claim,
we must accept the alternate hypothesis that the light bulbs do not
last as long as 1000 hours.
H1: < 1000

Level of Significance, Alpha ()
the probability with which we are willing to risk a type I error
![Page 16: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Type II Error = beta =probability of a type II error (failing to reject a false hypothesis)
small is normally is associated with a (relatively) large , and vice-versa.
Choices should be made according to which error is more serious.
![Page 17: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Power of the Test = 1 – Beta
• The probability of rejecting H0 when it is in fact false = 1 – .
• The power of the test increases as the level of significance () increases.
• Using a larger value of alpha increases the power of the test but also increases the probability of rejecting a true hypothesis.

Reject or ...
• When the sample evidence is not strong enough to justify rejection of the null hypothesis, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
• Use of the term “accept the null hypothesis” should be avoided.
• When the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, a confidence interval is frequently used to give a range of possible values for the parameter.
![Page 24: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Fail to Reject H0
There is not enough evidence to reject H0. The null hypothesis is
retained but has not been proven.
![Page 25: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Reject H0
There is enough evidence to reject H0. Choose the alternate
hypothesis with the understanding that it has not been proven.
![Page 26: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
A fast food restaurant indicated that the average age of its job applicants is fifteen years. We suspect that the true age is lower than 15.
We wish to test the claim with a level of significance of =
0.01,
![Page 27: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
… average age of its job applicants is fifteen years. We
suspect that the true age is lower than 15.
H0: = 15
H1: < 15
Describe Type I and Type II errors.
![Page 28: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
H0: = 15 H1: < 15 = 0.01
A type I error would occur if we rejected the claim that the mean age was 15, when in fact the mean age was 15 (or higher). The probability of committing such an error is as much as 1%.
![Page 29: Hypothesis testing is used to make decisions concerning the value of a parameter.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032312/56649e0d5503460f94af6e04/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
H0: = 15 H1: < 15
= 0.01A type II error would occur if we failed to
reject the claim that the mean age was 15, when in fact the mean age was lower than 15. The probability of committing such an error is called beta.

Types of Tests
• When the alternate hypothesis contains the “not equal to” symbol ( ), perform a two-tailed test..
• When the alternate hypothesis contains the “greater than” symbol ( > ), perform a right-tailed test.
• When the alternate hypothesis contains the “less than” symbol ( < ), perform a left-tailed test.
