Steps in Performing a Hypothesis Test
Define and𝐻0𝐻1
1. Assume to be true𝐻0
2. Compute test statistic (assess the
strength of the evidence against 𝐻0
3. Compute P-value (assuming to be𝐻0
true) P-value also called observed
significance level.
4. State a conclusion about strength of the
evidence against 𝐻0

The smaller the P-value, the more certain we can
be is false.𝐻0
The larger the P-value, the more plausible 𝐻0
becomes, but we can never be certain that is𝐻0
true
A rule of thumb suggests suggest to reject 𝐻0
whenever P 0.05. While this rule is≤
convenient, it has no scientific basis.

- The result of the test is said to be
statistically significant at 100 level.α
- The null hypo. Is rejected at the 100α
level.
- When reporting the result of hypo. Test,
report the P-value rather than just
comparing it to 5% or 1%.

To conduct a fixed-level test:
- Choose a number , whereα 0 < α < 1
. This is called significance level, or the
level, of the test.
- Compute the P-value in the usual way.
- If , reject . If , do not𝑃 ≤ α 𝐻0𝑃 > α

When conducting a fixed-level test at
significance level , there are 2 types of errorsα
that can be made. These are:
- Type I error: Reject when it is false.𝐻0
- Type II error: Fail to reject when it𝐻0
is false.
The probability of type I error is never (> ).α
A hypothesis test results in a type II error if is𝐻0
not rejected when it is false. The power of a test
is the probability of rejecting when it is false.𝐻0

Example: Find the power of the 5% level test of
vs. for the mean yield𝐻0: µ ≤ 80 𝐻1: µ > 80
of the new process under the alternative µ = 82
assuming and .𝑛 = 50 σ = 5
We have completed the first step of the solution
which is to compute the rejection region. We will
reject of .𝐻0𝑋≥ 81. 16
This presents the alternate and null distributions
on the same plot. The z-score for the critical
point of 81.16 under the alternate hypothesis is
. The area to the right is𝑧 = (81.16−81
0.707 =− 1. 19
0.8830. This is the power.

True or false:
a. The probability of rejecting when𝐻0
is 0.90. Trueµ = 15
b. The probability that when is𝐻0µ = 15
0.10. False
c. The probability of making a correct
decision when is 0.90. Trueµ = 15
d. The probability of making a correct
decision when is 0.10. Falseµ = 15

Example: A power calculation has shown that if

is 0.90. If instead Which of𝐻1: µ < 10 µ = 7
the statements are true?
Ans: The power of the test will be greater than
0.90.
