8.2 FOUR STEPS TO HYPOTHESIS TESTING The goal of hypothesis testing is to determine the likelihood that a population parameter, such as the mean, is likely to be true. In this section, we describe the four steps of hypothesis testing that were briefly introduced in Section 8.1: Step 1: State the hypotheses. Step 2: Set the criteria for a decision.

23.1 How Hypothesis Tests Are Reported in the News 1. Determine the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. 2. Collect and summarize the data into a test statistic. 3. Use the test statistic to determine the p-value. 4. The result is statistically significant if the p-value is less than or equal to the level of significance.

A lecture note on the fundamentals of statistical hypothesis testing, based on the logic of proof by contradiction and the randomization of treatment assignment. The note explains the six steps of the procedure, the distribution of the test statistic, the p-value, and the relationship between hypothesis tests and con dence intervals. It also provides an example of Fisher's exact test and a generalization of Fisher's test.

In hypothesis testing, we quantify our uncertainty by asking whether it is likely that data came from a particular distribution. We will focus on the following common type of hypothesis testing scenario: I The data Y come from some distribution f(Yj ), with parameter . I There are two possibilities for : either = 0, or 6= 0.

Effect size. Significance tests inform us about the likelihood of a meaningful difference between groups, but they don't always tell us the magnitude of that difference. Because any difference will become "significant" with an arbitrarily large sample, it's important to quantify the effect size that you observe.

Instead, hypothesis testing concerns on how to use a random sample to judge if it is evidence that supports or not the hypothesis. Hypothesis testing is formulated in terms of two hypotheses: H0: the null hypothesis; H1: the alternate hypothesis. The hypothesis we want to test is if H1 is \likely" true. So, there are two possible outcomes:

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.
