Question 730:
1Answer:
No answer provided yet.The steps are:
1. Identify the statistical test : Pick which test to conduct based on the data and constraints such as the scale and normality.
2. State the Hypotheses: Identify the test as either 1 or 2 sided and identify alpha.
3. Specify the Decision Rule: If the p-value is less than alpha the reject Ho (or if the test statistic exceeds the critical value).
4. Calculate the Test Statistic: Use the formula for the test statistic, for example a 2 sample t-test.
5. Make and explain the decision : State whether the Null Hypothesis was rejected, interpret the results and explain them in English.
Keep in mind that these steps are to help you in conducting a hypothesis test, it's OK to combine or modify the steps as long as you have the key components in there--e.g. Null Hypothesis, alpha and test statistic.
