Steps in a Conducting a Hypothesis Test

Although we listed these at the beginning of the lesson, we reiterate them here for convenience plus we are building on them.

Step 1. Check the conditions necessary to run the selected test and select the hypotheses for that test.:

  1. If Z-test for one proportion: np0?5np0?5 and n(1?p0)?5n(1?p0)?5
  2. If a t-test for one mean: either the data comes from an approximately normal distribution or the sample size is at least 30. If neither, then the data is not heavily skewed and without outliers.

If One Proportion Z-test:

Two-tailed Right-tailed Left-tailed
H0:p=p0H0:p=p0

OR

H0:p=p0H0:p=p0

OR

H0:p=p0H0:p=p0
Ha:p?p0Ha:p?p0 Ha:p>p0Ha:p>p0 Ha:p<p0Ha:p<p0

If One Mean t-test

Two-tailed Right-tailed Left-tailed
H0:?=?0H0:?=?0

OR

H0:?=?0H0:?=?0

OR

H0:?=?0H0:?=?0
Ha:???0Ha:???0 Ha:?>?0Ha:?>?0 Ha:?<?0Ha:?<?0

Step 2. Decide on the significance level, ??.

Step 3. Compute the value of the test statistic:

If One Proportion Z-test: Z?=^p?p0?p0(1?p0)nZ?=p^?p0p0(1?p0)n

If One Mean t-test: t?=¯x??0S/?nt?=x¯??0S/n

Rejection Region Approach to Hypothesis Testing

Step 4. Find the appropriate critical values for the tests using the Z-table for test of one proportion, or the t-table if a test for one mean. REMEMBER: for the one mean test the degrees for freedom are the sample size minus one (i.e. n - 1). Write down clearly the rejection region for the problem.

One Proportion Z-test One Mean t-test


Two-Tailed
Reject H0H0 if |Z?|?Z?/2|Z?|?Z?/2


Two-Tailed
Reject H0H0 if |t?|?t?/2|t?|?t?/2


Left-Tailed
Reject H0H0 if Z??Z?Z??Z?

Left-Tailed
Reject H0H0 if t??t?t??t?


Right-Tailed
Reject H0H0 if Z??Z?Z??Z?


Right-Tailed
Reject H0H0 if t??t?t??t?

Step 5. Check to see if the value of the test statistic falls in the rejection region. If it does, then reject H0H0 (and conclude HaHa). If it does not fall in the rejection region, do not reject H0H0.

Step 6. State the conclusion in words.

P-value Approach to Hypothesis Testing

Steps 1- Step 3. The first few steps (Step 0 - Step 3) are exactly the same as the rejection region approach.

Step 4. In Step 4, we need to compute the appropriate p-value based on our alternative hypothesis:

If HaHa is right-tailed, then the p-value is the probability the sample data produces a value equal to or greater than the observed test statistic.

If HaHa is left-tailed, then the p-value is the probability the sample data produces a value equal to or less than the observed test statistic.

If HaHa is two-tailed, then the p-value is two times the probability the sample data produces a value equal to or greater than the absolute value of the observed test statistic.

Right-tailed Left-tailed Two-tailed
P(Z>Z?)P(Z>Z?)

OR

P(Z<Z?)P(Z<Z?)

OR

2×P(Z>|Z?|)2×P(Z>|Z?|)
\(P(t > t*)\) at df = n-1 P(t<t?)P(t<t?) at df = n-1 2×P(t>|t?|)2×P(t>|t?|) at df = n-1

Step 5. Check to see if the p-value is less than the stated alpha value. If it is, then reject H0H0 (and conclude HaHa). If it is not less than alpha, do not reject H0H0.
