Key Concepts

Significance Level

The significance level, typically denoted by alpha (?), is the predetermined threshold for making a decision in hypothesis testing. It represents the maximum acceptable probability of committing a Type I error, which is rejecting a true null hypothesis. Common significance levels include 0.05, 0.01, and 0.10.

Rejection Region

The rejection region is the range of values for the test statistic where the null hypothesis is rejected. It is defined based on the significance level and the nature of the test (one-tailed or two-tailed). If the calculated test statistic falls within this region, it indicates that the observed result is sufficiently unlikely under the null hypothesis, leading to its rejection.

Standardized Test Statistic (z?score)

The z-score is a standardized test statistic that measures the number of standard deviations an observed value is from the population mean under the null hypothesis. It provides a way to compare results across different datasets or studies, and informs us about the degree to which the sample data deviates from what is expected under the null hypothesis.

Null Hypothesis

The null hypothesis is the assertion that there is no effect, no difference, or no relationship in the population, serving as the default assumption to be tested against. In hypothesis testing, this hypothesis is assumed to be true until there is sufficient evidence provided by the data to reject it in favor of an alternative hypothesis.
