9.1 Introduction
In the previous unit, estimation, we have studied about the estimation of the parameter from the samples and the methods of estimation. In this unit,
Testing of hypothesis, we will study about hypothesis and the testing of hypothesis. Estimation is about estimating the parameters and finding out

the confidence intervals. Hypothesis testing is the opinion about the population parameter that may or may not be in the confidence interval derived from the sample. Hypothesis testing is helpful in decision making.
Before starting this unit, let’s refresh the concepts we have studied on estimation. Hypothesis testing begins with an assumption, called hypothesis that we make about a population parameter wherein we assume a certain value for the population parameter. To test the validity of our assumption, we gather sample data and determine the difference between the hypothesised value and the actual value of the sample statistic. Then we judge whether the difference is significant.
