Elements of a Test of Hypothesis 1. Null Hypothesis (H0 ) - A statement about the values of population parameters which we accept until proven false. 2. Alternative or Research Hypothesis (Ha )- A statement that contradicts the null hypothesis. It represents researcher’s claim about the population parameters. This will be accepted only when data provides sufficient evidence to establish its truth. 3. Test Statistic - A sample statistic (often a formula) that is used to decide whether to reject H0

A statistical test is a formal technique‚ for arriving at a decision about the reasonableness of a hypothesis‚ based on some probability distribution. The test technique uses the values obtained from sample data to arrive at a probability statement about the hypothesis. But it also uses some assertions about the population from which the sample is drawn. Some of the important assumptions are like: Population is normally distributed Sample drawn is a random sample But in case of Non-parametric

Case No 7 Tiresome Tire I Introduction: This case is about Hypothesis Testing‚ there is a tire manufacturing company which is producing tire with the strength 2800 pound per square inch (psi)‚ we have to test Null Hypothesis i.e. H0 : u> 2‚800 psi‚ where u is the mean strength of large batch of tire and population SD is 10 psi. Calculation: We have to test Null Hypothesis based on given information. Type I error will result in the rejection of a large number of good tires. Type II error

CHAPTER 7 THE TWO-VARIABLE REGRESSION MODEL: HYPOTHESIS TESTING QUESTIONS 7.1. (a) In the regression context‚ the method of least squares estimates the regression parameters in such a way that the sum of the squared difference between the actual Y values (i.e.‚ the values of the dependent variable) and the estimated Y values is as small as possible. (b) The estimators of the regression parameters obtained by the method of least squares. (c) An estimator
