    Hypothesis testing refers to statistically analyzing sample data to make assumptions about a population. It determines the error associated with sample data and compares it to an acceptable level of error. There are two types of hypotheses: the null hypothesis states there is no statistically significant difference between parameters, while the alternative hypothesis states there is a significant difference. An engineer tested whether the mean Brinell hardness of 25 pieces of ductile iron was greater than 170, with a null hypothesis of 170 and alternative of greater than 170. The test statistic was below the critical value, so the null hypothesis was not rejected, meaning there was insufficient evidence of a difference in the mean.

    Hypothesis Testing refers to statistically analyzing


    data from a sample in order to make assumptions
    about a population.
    When we do this, we determine how much error is
    associated with our sample data. We, then compate
    the amount of estimated error with an acceptable
    level of error.

    Type of Hypothesis Testing


    Null Hypothesis refers that no statistically significant difference exists
    between the parameter and the statistic being compared. (H0)

    Alternative Hypothesis refers that logical opposite of the null hypothesis. In


    addition, it is a statistically significant difference does not exist between the
    parameter and the statistic being compared. (H a or H 1)

    An engineer measured the Brinell hardness of 25 pieces of


    ductile iron that were sub-critically annealed.

    The engineer hypothesized that the mean Brinell hardness of all


    such ductile iron pieces is greater than 170. Therefore, he was
    interested in testing the hypotheses:
    H0 : u = 170 Ha : u > 170

    The output tells us that the average Brinell hardness of


    the n= 25 pieces of ductile iron was 172.52 with a standard
    deviation of 10.31. (The standard error of the mean "SE Re n
    Mean', calculated by dividing the standard deviation 10.31 a l- i o
    by the square root of n = 25, is 2.06). The test statistic t* is li f e A p p li c a t
    122, and the P-value is 0.117

    If the engineer set his significance level o at 0.05 and used the
    critical value approach to conduct his hypothesis test, he would
    reject the null hypothesis if his test statistic t* were greater than
    1.7109 (determined using statistical software or at-table)

    Since the engineer's test statistic, t* = 1.22, is not greater than


    1.7109, the engineer fails to reject the null hypothesis. That is,
    the test statistic does not fall in the critical region." There is
    Ex e insufficient evidence, at the a = 0.05 level, to conclude that
    pla h
    ft
    the mean Brinell hardness of all such ductile iron pieces is
    n a tio n o greater than 170.

    Conclusion Reflection
    Therefore, the null hypothesis is Hypothesis testing is one of the most
    important concepts in statistics because it is
    not rejected. There is no how you decide if something really
    significant difference between happened, or if certain treatments have
    the sample mean and the positive effects, or if groups differ from each
    other or if one variable predicts another. In
    population mean. short, you want to proof if your data is
    statistically significant and unlikely to have
    occurred by chance alone. In essence then, a
    hypothesis test is a test of significance
