Hypothesis
Hypothesis is an assumption about a population parameter.
for example, the coin/ dice is unbiased.
There are two types of hypothesis:1. Simple2. Composite
2
Description
Simple Hypothesis: A statistical hypothesis which specifies the population completely (i.e. the form of probability distribution and all parameters are known) is called a simple hypothesis.
Composite Hypothesis: A statistical hypothesis which does not specify the population completely (i.e. either the form of probability distribution or some parameters remain unknown) is called a Composite Hypothesis.

Hypothesis Testing or Test of Hypothesis or Test of Significance
Hypothesis Testing is a process of making a decision on whether to accept or reject an assumption about the population parameter on the basis of sample information at a given level of significance.
Null Hypothesis: Null hypothesis is the assumption which we wish to test and whose validity is tested for possible rejection on the basis of sample information.
It asserts that there is no significant difference between the sample statistic (e.g. Mean, Standard Deviation (S), and Proportion of Sample (p)) and Population Parameter (e.g. Mean(µ), Standard Deviation (σ), Proportion of Population (P)).

Symbol-It is denoted by Ho Acceptance- The acceptance of null
hypothesis implies that we have no evidence to believe otherwise and indicates that the difference is not significant.
Rejection- The rejection of null hypothesis implies that it is false and indicates that the difference is significant.
5
Alternative Hypothesis
Alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis which differs from the null hypothesis. It is not tested.
Symbol-It is denoted by H1. Acceptance- its acceptance depends on the
rejection of the null hypothesis. Rejection- Its rejection depends on the
acceptance of the null hypothesis.
6
Level of Significance
Level of significance is the maximum probability of rejection the null hypothesis when it is true.
Symbol- it is usually expressed as % and is denoted by symbol α (called Alpha)
Example- 5% level of significance implies that there are about 5 chances in 100 of rejecting the Ho when it is true or in other words , we are about 95% confident that we will make a correct decision.
7
Test Statistic
Test statistic refers to a function of sample observations whose computed value determines the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of null hypothesis (Ho)

Test Statistic Used for
z-Test For test of Hypothesis involving large sample i.e.>30
t-Test For test of Hypothesis involving small sample i.e.≤30 and if σ is unknown
X2 –Test For testing the discrepancy between Observed frequencies and expected frequencies, without any reference to population parameter.
F- Test For testing the sample variances.

Critical Region or Rejection Region
Critical region is the region which corresponds to a pre- determined level of significance. The set of values of the test statistic which leads to rejection of the null hypothesis is called region of rejection or Critical region of the test.
10
Acceptance region- The set of values of the test statistic which leads to the acceptance of Ho is called region of acceptance.
Critical value- Critical value is that value of statistic which separates the critical region from the acceptance region. It lies at the boundary of the regions of acceptance and rejection.
Size of Critical Region- The probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis is called as size of critical region.
11
Area under Normal Curve
The critical region may be represented by a portion of the area under the normal curve in the following two ways:
Two- tailed Test- The tests of hypothesis which are based on the critical region represented by both tails under the normal curve are called ‘Two-tailed Tests’.
One –tailed Test- The tests of hypothesis which are based on the critical region represented by one tail(on right side or on left side)only under the normal curve are called ‘One-tailed Tests’.

Type I and Type II Errors
Type I Error- This is error committed by the test in rejecting a true null hypothesis. The probability of committing type I error is denoted by α (the level of significance)
Type II Error- - This is error committed by the test in accepting a false null hypothesis. The probability of committing type II error is denoted by β.

Power of the Test
Power of the Test is the probability of rejecting a false null hypothesis. It can be calculated as
Power of the Test= 1-Probability of Type II error Degree of freedom- mean the number of variables
for which one has freedom to choose. In case of one sample-n-1 In case of two samples-n1+n2-2
17
Practical steps involved in testing Hypothesis
Specify Ho and H1.(see slide12) Specify the appropriate test statistic to be used,( see slide 08) Compute the value of test statistic( z,t,x²,f) Compute the decision as follows:Since the computed value is less than the tabular value, we accept
the null hypothesis (Ho) and conclude that difference is not significant.
or Since the computed value is greater than the tabular value, we
reject the null hypothesis (Ho) and conclude that difference is significant.

ILLUSTRATION-01 Philips Company claims that the length of
the life of its electric bulb is 2000 hours with standard deviation of 30 hours . A random sample of 25 showed an average life of 1940 hours with a standard deviation of 25 hours. At 5% level of significance can we conclude that the sample has come from a population with mean of 2000 hours?

The record for last several years of applicants for admission into Management colleges for a test showed that their mean score was 115. An administrator is interested in knowing whether the caliber of the recent applicants has changed. For the purpose of testing this hypothesis the score of the last 100 students is obtained from the admission office. The mean for this turned out to be 118 & standard deviation30. Use 5% significance level.
