assumption is true. Likewise, in hypothesis testing, we start by assuming that the hypothesis or claim we are testing is true. This is stated in the null hypothesis. The basis of the decision is to determine whether this assumption is likely to be true. The null hypothesis (H 0), stated as the null, is a statement about a population

Hypothesis testing will rely extensively on the idea that, having a pdf, one can compute the probability of all the corresponding events. Make sure you understand this point before going ahead. We have seen that the pdf of a random variable synthesizes all the probabilities of realization of the underlying events.
