Hypothesis Testing

Hypothesis testing is a statistical method used to make inferences about a population parameter. It involves setting up two competing hypotheses: the null hypothesis, which represents a baseline assumption or no effect, and the alternative hypothesis, which represents the claim being tested. The test determines whether there is enough evidence from sample data to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative.

Two-Sample t-Test

A two-sample t-test is a statistical procedure used to compare the means of two independent populations. It assesses whether the difference between the sample means is statistically significant. This test generally assumes that the samples are drawn from normally distributed populations, and it may assume equal variances between the groups unless indicated otherwise.

Significance Level

The significance level, denoted by alpha (?), is the threshold used to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis. It represents the probability of committing a Type I error, which is rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true. In testing that the two population means are different, a significance level of 1% implies that there is a 1% risk of making such an error.

p-value

The p-value is the probability of obtaining a test statistic at least as extreme as the one observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. It provides a measure of the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis. If the p-value is less than the specified significance level, the null hypothesis is rejected, indicating that there is statistically significant evidence of a difference between the population means.
