The hypothesis test have mainly seven steps and we can just go through the steps that's are
Step 1: state the null hypothesis
step 2: state the alternative hypothesis
step 3:set
step 4: collect data
step 5:calculate a test statistics
step 6:construct acceptance
step 7:based on step five and six draw a conclusion
these are the main steps in the hypothesis test state the null hypothesis:-
Null hypothesis is a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables.it is usually the hypothesis a researcher will try to disprove or discredit
alternative hypothesis:-
The alternative hypothesis is a position that states something is happening a new theory is preferred instead of an old one it is usually consistent with the research hypothesis because it is constructed from literature review, previous study etc
set :-
If we look at what can happen in a hypothesis test and we can make an contingency table and we should be familiar with the type 1 and type 2 error from your introductory course it is important to note that we want to set before the experiment because the type 1 error is more grevious error to make
collect data:-
Is the process that gathering and measuring the information on targeted variables in an established system which then enable one to answer relevant questions and evaluate outcome
calculate a test statistics
Is a random variables that is calculated from sample data and used in hypothesis test and this is used to calculate the p value and it is measure the degree of agreement between a sample of data and the null hypothesis
constuct acceptance:-
It is the interval within the sampling distribution of the test statistics that is consistent with the null hypothesis from hypothesis testing
based on five and six steps draw a conclusion
