We need to use hypothesis-testing tools & technique, as a part/ means of the research process. -also in decision making situations; -in inference, experimental testing & observation - Study on effectiveness (cause & effect relation case)

Research gap Additional knowledge Trying to know something about the unknown Population vs Sample Parameter vs Statistic Census vs sampling Sampling methods & sampling distributions Sampling error, standard error Estimation: point & interval

Observational Method: The observational method involves human or mechanical observation of what people actually do or what events take place during a buying or consumption situation. Longitudinal Studies are repeated-measurement studies, that collect data over several periods in time.

Hypothesis is a declaratory statement that is testable. It is a statement about the population that we wish to verify on the basis of available sample information. - It is a provisional answer to the research problem under study which is tested empirically for its validity. Many Hypothesis can Exist for the same Problem The hypothesis tested is generally called Null hypothesis (Ho) and the other, which gives a reverse statement, is called its Alternative

Accept (H0)
the probability of type-1 error, is known as the level of significance of the test (= size of the Critical Region). Prob.{Accepting H0 / H1 is true}= , (1- ) is called the power of the test. - We cant check/ reduce both & simultaneously. The usual practice is to control at a predetermined low level and subject to this constraint on we choose such a test that minimizes (or maximizes the power function, 1 ). Generally we choose = 0.05 or, 0.01 (i.e. 5% or 1%) level of significance.

We use t - test when : (i) Sample size is within 30-40, or less (ii) Population variance or standard deviation is unknown. While testing hypothesis following assumptions are usually made: (a) the population is normal (or Approximately Normal), (b) Observations are independently drawn for the random sample. (c) In case of 2 samples, population variances are equal (for the test of equality of Means)
