INTRODUCTION:
HYPHOTHESIS
SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL
To test, the null hypothesis, one must set the level of significance first. The
level of significance is the probability of making Type I erros and it ijs denoted by
the symbol a. Type I error is the probability of accepting the alternative hypothesis
when in fact the null hypothesis is true. The probability of accepting the null
hypothesis when in fact it is false is called II error and it is denoted by the symbol
B. The most commonly used level of significance is 5%.
A test is called a one-tailed test if the rejection region lies on one extreme
side of the distribution if the rejection region is located on both ends of the
distribution.
TESTING HYPOTHESIS
6. Find the tabular value using the table of values for different tests from the
appendix.
Decision Rule: If the computed value is less than the tabular value, accept the
proposition. Make a conclusion out of the result of the comparison.
