    Stats - Confidence Intervals As Tests

    The document discusses using confidence intervals to perform hypothesis tests, noting that this only works for two-tailed tests. It explains that if the hypothesized value lies within the confidence interval, the null hypothesis is not rejected, while if it lies outside the interval, the null hypothesis is rejected. However, this approach only works for two-tailed tests and requires first computing the confidence interval, which can be more difficult than a standard hypothesis test.
