identify a metal‚ each with varying amounts of accuracy. In order to test some of these methods‚ thermal expansion‚ density‚ and specific heat were used to identify two small metal rods. The overall purpose of this experiment was to identify an unknown metal using the three previously stated properties. This means that the percent error should be relatively low‚ meaning that there would be little difference between the values measured in our experiment and the true values of the metal. Density

Hypothesis testing begins with the assumption that randomization is used to collect quantitative data about the sample and that the distribution of this data has a normal shape. Significance tests state two explanations‚ or hypotheses‚ about a parameter. One‚ called the null hypothesis‚ states that the parameter equals some value (usually 0). The other‚ called the alternative hypothesis‚ states that the parameter is greater than‚ less than or (not) equal to the value stated in the null hypothesis

Nonparametric Hypothesis Testing Paper Team B RES 342 Eric Hogan University of Phoenix Nonparametric Hypothesis Testing Nonparametric testing does not depend on certain data in a particular distribution. Also‚ nonparametric testing applies techniques that do not assume that the basis of a model is predetermined. In a previous paper we discussed a hypothesis with single and double samples. Now we will conduct the equivalent‚ nonparametric test of the real estate hypothesis using another
