Guidelines -- Hypothesis Testing Steps:

1 State H0 and Ha.

2 Specify the level of significance alpha a.

3 Determine the test statistic, either z or t. Find the test statistic using the given data.

4 Find the P-value or the critical value(s) z0 or t0. Use the method specified in the problem statement.

5 Define the rejection region using either the P-value method or critical values from the Normal distribution.

6 Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

7 Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

Discussion

As in all assignments, cite your scholarly sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Hypothesis Testing

Hypothesis testing is a well-structured process that consists of several logical steps, and it aims at refining a business decision.

Hypothesis testing is a quite common technique used by researchers. With regard to hypothesis testing, answer the following questions.

8 What are the steps to conduct a hypothesis test? How does a researcher determine which statistical test to conduct?

· How does a researcher determine which level of significance to use?

· What software programs can be used to compute these tests? Where is the critical test value found?

· How can one determine if the null hypothesis should be rejected?

· Give a business example on each of the three possible cases of hypothesis testing. Do you think the rejection region will be different in each one of the three cases? Why? Why not?
