Significance Testing

Topic Review on "Title":

5 Steps of Hypothesis Testing

  • Step1: H0: (null hypothesis)
  • Step 2: Ha: (The alternative hypothesis)
  • Step 3: The test statistic and its p-value:
  • Step 4: The critical value and its rejection region
  • Step 5: Conclusion: Reject H0 or Do not reject H0
  • How do you decide when to reject H0?
  • You need to set a significance level, (e.g., 01 or .05) that represent the maximum risk you can tolerate to have when making a mistake of rejecting H0.
  • Then compare that significance level a with p-value or, compare the statistics with critical value.

Hypothesis Test of a Population Mean

  • Suppose We take a random sample
  • n >= 30 from a population with mean m and
  • standard deviation s. s is known (s »  since n is large)
  • We write the hypothesis test as:

 Two-tailed:

  • H0:m = m0
  • Ha: m ¹ m0

 One-tailed:

  • Ha: m > m0  or
  • Ha: m < m0

Test statistics

  

P-value and Critical Value approaches

  • p-value:
  • A p-value is a measure of how much evidence we have against the null hypotheses. The smaller the p-value, the more evidence we have against H0. If p-value< a (significance level), reject H0.

P-value and critical approach are equivalent

  • If the p-value <a, reject H0. Conclude that the results are statistically significant at level a.
  • If the p-value > a, do not reject H0. Conclude that the results are not significant at level.
  • If test statistic > critical value, reject H0.
  • If test statistic < critical value, do not reject H0.

Two Types of error

  • Define:
  • a = P(Type I error)  = P(reject H0 | H0 is true)
  • b = P(Type II error) = P( do not reject H0 | H0 is false)
  • Our goal is to keep  a, b as small as possible.
