Hypotheses
Hypothesis: a supposition a proposition or principle which is supposed or
taken for granted, in order to draw a conclusion or inference for proof of the point in question
In statistical tests of hypotheses, we assume that a hypothesis is true. If the data are consistent with the hypothesis,
we retain the hypothesis If the data are not consistent with the
hypothesis, we reject the hypothesis

Testing Hypotheses
The Null Hypothesis The starting hypothesis The null hypothesis specifies a population
model parameter of interest and proposes a value for the parameter
Standard Deviation (not Standard Error) We assume the null hypothesis to be true, so
we have a value for the model parameter p.

The Reasoning of Hypothesis Testing Hypotheses
The null hypothesis
• Translate our question into a statement about
model parameters
• Write
The alternative hypothesis
• Contains the values of the parameter we accept if
we reject the null.
• Write
:oH parameter value
:AH parameter value

The Reasoning of Hypothesis Testing
Plan Specify the model you will use to test the null
hypothesis and the parameter of interest All models require assumptions, so state them and
check any corresponding conditions Include the name of the test you plan to perform End with a statement such as
“Because the conditions are satisfied, it id appropriate
to model the sampling distribution of the proportion with a
model” ,oN p SD p

The Reasoning of Hypothesis Testing
MechanicsDo the actual calculations of a test statistic
from the dataThe ultimate goal is to obtain a P-value
• The probability that the observed statistic value could occur if the null model were correct
• If the P-value is small enough, reject the null hypothesis

The Reasoning of Hypothesis Testing
ConclusionThe conclusion in a hypothesis test is
always a statement about the null hypothesis
“reject” or “fail to reject” the null hypothesis
Consider the size of the effect by examining a confidence interval
![Page 8: Chapter 20: Testing Hypotheses about Proportions “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half.” -John Wanamaker](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071807/56649e0d5503460f94af6e31/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
One-proportion z-test
The conditions for the one-proportion z-test are the same as for the one-proportion z-interval.
We test the hypothesis : using
the statistic . We use the
hypothesized proportion to find
the standard deviation,

.
When the conditions are
met and the null
hypothesis is true, the
statistic follows the
standard Normal model,
so we can use that
model to obtain a P-
value.

Alternative Alternatives
Two-sided alternative
When we are equally
interested in
proportions that deviate
from p in either
direction

Alternative Alternatives
One-sided alternative An alternative hypothesis
that focuses on deviations from the null hypothesis value in only one direction.
The P-value is the probability of deviating only in the direction of the alternative away from the null hypothesis value

P-Values and Decisions:What to Tell About a Hypothesis Test
Hypothesis tests are useful when making a decision
It is a good idea to report the confidence interval for the parameter of interest
The P-value is highly context-dependent The importance of the issue also factors into the
choice of P-value The conclusion about any null hypothesis should
be accompanied by the P-value of the test. If possible, it should also include a confidence interval for the parameter of interest
