Essay: Differentiate in your own words the
following: Hypothesis Testing, Null
Hypothesis and Alternative hypothesis.
My Answer: Hypothesis testing is a
statistical test that determines if the
hypothesis made for a sample of data holds
true for the entire population. Simply said, a
hypothesis is an assumption that is tested to
determine the relationship between two sets
of data. A null hypothesis is a statistical
hypothesis that states that there is no
statistical significance in a certain set of
observations. An alternative hypothesis
states that there is statistical significance
between two variables.
Feedback: Hypothesis Testing is a way to
find out if the results of a survey or
experiment are meaningful and dependent
or not. The objective of hypothesis testing is
to decide, based on sample information, if
the alternative hypothesis is actually
supported by the data. We usually do new
research to challenge the existing (accepted)
beliefs.
The Alternative hypothesis assumes
that there is some difference between the
true mean and comparison value. The
burden of proof is placed on those who
believe in the alternative claim. The
Alternative claim (Ha or H1) sample
evidence provides significant support for the
alternative assertion. And
The Null Hypothesis assumes that no
difference exists (Initially favored claim (H0)
will not be rejected) specially If the sample
does not strongly contradict H0, we will
continue to believe in the plausibility of the
Null hypothesis.

chi-square test, I would choose the
alternative hypothesis,” and then hung up.

effect but you don’t know in which way yet.

dinner is more than P200.00. A sample of 49
customers was randomly selected and the
average amount spent was P220.60. Assume
