Hypothesis Testing

• The process of decidingstatistically whether thendings of an investigationreect chance or real eects at

a given level of probability.



Types of Hypothesis Tests

•Tests about a population mean (μ)

• Test about a population variance ()

• Test about a population proportion

• Test for a !ierence between• Population means

• Population proportions

• Population variances



Tests for !ierences betweepopulation means•

Tests for large samples• Tests for normal populations with "nownvariances

• Test for normal populations with un"nownvariances

• Populations have e#ual variances• Populations have une#ual variances

• Tests for paire! !ata
