Hypothesis Testing and Nursing Hypothesis testing is a method of making decisions using data from scientific study. In statistics‚ a result is called statistically significant if it has been predicted as unlikely to have occurred by chance alone‚ according to pre-determined threshold probability‚ the significance level. Statistical hypothesis tests define a procedure that controls (fixes) the probability of incorrectly deciding that a default position (null hypothesis) is incorrect based on how

monthly income is gender biased. Hypothesis: H0: Single Women save equal to single men from their total monthly income.

A statistical test is a formal technique‚ for arriving at a decision about the reasonableness of a hypothesis‚ based on some probability distribution. The test technique uses the values obtained from sample data to arrive at a probability statement about the hypothesis. But it also uses some assertions about the population from which the sample is drawn. Some of the important assumptions are like: Population is normally distributed Sample drawn is a random sample But in case of Non-parametric

high. The recession of the U.S. economy only hinders people more with high gas prices. A one population test using the One Factor ANOVA test and a five-step hypothesis test can be used to determine if gas prices are equally high in many different states. The samples used to test the hypothesis come from data collected from 30 randomly selected gas stations in six different cities. The hypothesis test and some solutions to consider may have an effect on direct and indirect stakeholders and is very important

Elements of a Test of Hypothesis 1. Null Hypothesis (H0 ) - A statement about the values of population parameters which we accept until proven false. 2. Alternative or Research Hypothesis (Ha )- A statement that contradicts the null hypothesis. It represents researcher’s claim about the population parameters. This will be accepted only when data provides sufficient evidence to establish its truth. 3. Test Statistic - A sample statistic (often a formula) that is used to decide whether to reject H0
