In hypothesis testing, samples are most often taken to represent a subset of the population since the entire population can rarely be studied. From thesesamples, hypothesis testing used to infer conclusions about the population. There's always a chance or risk (known asalpha-riskandbeta-risk) ...

This article will review statistical hypothesis testing in general and then introduce equivalence testing and its application. What is equivalence testing and when should we use it? Most quality professionals are familiar with basic hypothesis tests such as the 2-sample t test. However, depending on...

The normal distribution was used to demonstrate how hypothesis testing is done. You will not always be dealing with the normal distribution but the process is essentially the same. One item that is still to be discussed is how to select the sample size. This will be the subject of a later...
In a hypothesis test, we start with two precise statements. These two statements are assumptions orhypothesesbecause the truth is unknown at this point. The hypothesis test is ‘evaluating the ‘testing’ the first statement. These two statements must be mutually exclusive but collectively exhausti...
Different methodologies exist for hypothesis testing, but the same four basic steps are involved: Step 1: Define the Hypothesis Usually, the reported value (or the claim statistics) is stated as the hypothesis and presumed to be true. For the above examples, the hypothesis will be: ...
