It is still being debated to on exactly when did the ancestor of our species began to walk on two legs. One hypothesis relies on a 6-7 million year old skull of Sahelanthropus tchadensis. The skull was discovered in the Djurab Desert in Chad. Since only the skull was discovered‚ it is still unclear on how Sahelanthropus tchadensis fits in our evolutionary

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY LESSON 20: PRINCIPLE OF HYPOTHESIS TESTING So far we have talked about estimating a confidence interval along with the probability (the confidence level) that the true population statistic lies within this interval under repeated sampling. We now examine the principles of statistical inference to hypotheses testing. By the end of this chapter you should be able to • Understand what is hypothesis testing • Examine issues relating to the determination of level of How is this
