  • Theoretical Issues About Testing of Population Mean

    The power of a test is defined as the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false i.e. the probability that the value of the test statistic falls in the critical region (exceeds the critical value) when the alternative hypothesis is

  • Statistics Data Set

    Critical value = -3.746947388 Conclusion: Reject the null hypothesis, since the calculated value of test statistic is less than the critical value.

  • The Five-step Process for Hypothesis Testing

    Solving the equation for Z score equivalents is called computing the test statistic. Resulting value is referred to as Z (obtained). Step 5. Making a Decision The test statistic is compared with the critical region.

  • Important information about Two Sample T test for testing the Hypothesis of Means

    For more clarification please see the below formula for two sample t test. Test statistic. The test statistic is a t-score (t) defined by the following equation.

  • Regression analysis

    The null hypothesis that H0: β2 =0 is rejected if the value of t test statistic is greater than the critical value of t at 7 d.f Value of t Statistic = 4.97 d.f =7 Critical value =2.36 Conclusion: Reject the null hypothesis.

  • This job sums t-statistic and includes a discussion of hypothesis testing.

    sample statistic compare to a critical value, here we use T-test.

  • Statistics help: Random Sample

    What you do is the following: The expected mean - the actual mean / standard deviation Therefore the T- statistic would be: 74.5-76/8.7 This is you T statistic. Now you have to compare this test statistic to the critical value.

  • Hypothesis Testing Using Normal Distribution

    Critical value = ±1.959963985 Conclusion: Reject the null hypothesis, since the absolute value of test statistic is greater than the critical value. The sample provides enough evidence to support the claim.

  • One sample Z test for proportion

    Decision Rule: Reject the null hypothesis, if the value of test statistic is greater than the critical value. Fails to reject the null hypothesis as the value of test statistic |Z| is not greater than the critical value.
