Critical-Value Approach to Hypothesis Testing We often use inferential statistics to make decisions or judgments about the value of a parameter‚ such as a population mean. For example‚ we might need to decide whether the mean weight‚ μ‚ of all bags of pretzels packaged by a particular company differs from the advertised weight of 454 grams (g)‚ or we might want to determine whether the mean age‚ μ‚ of all cars in use has increased from the year 2000 mean of 9.0 years. One of the most commonly

CHAPTER 4 – THE BASIS OF STATISTICAL TESTING * samples and populations * population – everyone in a specified target group rather than a specific region * sample – a selection of individuals from the population * sampling * simple random sampling – identify all the people in the target population and then randomly select the number that you need for your research * extremely difficult‚ time-consuming‚ expensive * cluster sampling – identify

U.S. economy only hinders people more with high gas prices. A one population test using the One Factor ANOVA test and a five-step hypothesis test can be used to determine if gas prices are equally high in many different states. The samples used to test the hypothesis come from data collected from 30 randomly selected gas stations in six different cities. The hypothesis test and some solutions to consider may have an effect on direct and indirect stakeholders and is very important to the economy as

industry. According to the Bureau of Labor in the United States‚ a growth of 5% will exist in this industry by 2016. Through this project I want to prove that the prediction of the Bureau of Labor in the United States is true‚ and reject the hypothesis that the growth of this industry is less than 5%. 2. Body: You can add a theoretical discussion in your project…this is optional. But‚ if you want to discuss your study’s goal and basic theoretical truth behind your hypotheses‚ you are welcome

The word ‘Hypothesis is derived from a Greek word‚ which means ‘to suppose’. It is usually considered as the principal instrument in research. For a researcher it is a formal question that he or she intends to resolve. In this way a hypothesis may be defined as a proposition or a supposition. The main function of hypothesis is to guide the collection and processing of materials and direct the research. Hypothesis is a tentative conclusion. It is facts based theory. A research scholar will analyze

Hypothesis Testing: Two-Sample Case for the Mean Many cases in the social sciences involve a hypothesis about the difference between two groups (i.e. men and women‚ control and experiment). We analyze statistics from two samples‚ and the hypothesis and confidence interval would deal with the difference between two population means. The following factors are important in hypothesis testing: 1. probability theory 2. the sampling distribution of the statistic 3. the errors inherent
