Key Concepts

Statistical Hypothesis Testing

Statistical hypothesis testing involves making an initial assumption (the null hypothesis) about a population parameter and then using sample data to determine whether there is enough evidence to reject this assumption in favor of an alternative hypothesis. It forms the basis for making decisions about the relationships between variables.

Null Hypothesis

The null hypothesis is a statement that assumes no relationship or association between the variables being studied. In the context of a test for independence, it asserts that the two categorical variables are independent, meaning that the distribution of one variable is not affected by the level of the other variable.

Alternative Hypothesis

The alternative hypothesis is a statement that contradicts the null hypothesis by proposing that there is a relationship or association between the variables. When testing for independence, it states that the two categorical variables are not independent, suggesting some form of association or interaction between them.

Test of Independence

A test of independence, often implemented using the chi-square statistic, assesses whether there is a significant association between two categorical variables. It does so by comparing the observed frequencies in the data with the frequencies expected under the assumption of independence stated in the null hypothesis.
