Hypothesis Testing The sole purpose of hypothesis testing is to determine whether or not research that has been collected is proved or disproved; usually allowing up to a 5% error factor.

The steps are: developing the research question‚ specifying between null and alternative hypotheses‚ calculating the statistic‚ computing
