3. STATING THE HYPOTHESES The NULL HYPOTHESIS (H 0 ) Is the statement that is assumed to be true unless sufficient evidence is gathered to reject the hypothesis. The ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS (H 1 ) Is the statement that one wishes to support as being true. This is done by gathering evidence against the null hypothesis.

4. HYPOTHESES LOWER TAIL UPPER TAIL TWO TAIL

5. HYPOTHESIS TESTING METHODS STANDARDIZED SCALE P-VALUE 8 steps: LOWER TAIL

6. PROCEDURE FOR STANDARDIZED SCALE METHOD 1.State the null hypothesis (H 0 ). 2.State the alternative hypothesis (H 1 ) 3.State the TYPE I and II ERRORS. 4.State level of significance (maximum acceptable  ). 5.Determine the rejection region. 6.Compute the test statistic. 7.Compare the test statistic and rejection region, then make a decision. 8.Draw a conclusion.

7. STANDARDIZED SCALE METHOD S ampling distribution if the null hypothesis is true

8. PROCEDURE FOR THE P-VALUE METHOD 1.State the null hypothesis (H 0 ). 2.State the alternative hypothesis (H 1 ) 3.State the TYPE I and II ERRORS. 4.State level of significance (maximum acceptable  ). 5.Compute the test statistic. 6.Calculate the p-value. 7.Compare the p-value with the level of significance, then make a decision. 8.Draw a conclusion.

9. P-VALUE METHOD S ampling distribution if the null hypothesis is true

10. TEST STATISTIC LARGE SAMPLE SMALL SAMPLE

11. REJECTION REGION Or P-value LARGE SAMPLE Standard normal distribution SMALL SAMPLE t-distribution with df=n-1
