Statistical Sampling and Probability · Data & Probability

Hypothesis Testing

Using probability distributions to make decisions about the validity of a null hypothesis.

Key Questions

  1. 1What is the significance of the p-value in determining a statistical outcome?
  2. 2How do we decide between a one-tailed and a two-tailed test?
  3. 3Why can we never 'prove' a hypothesis is true using statistics, only fail to reject it?
