![What is a Hypothesis?](https://jovecdn2.ccindex.cn/files/media/science-education/science-education-thumbs/13608.jpg)
A hypothesis can be a simple sentence or statement about a property or any phenomenon observed or predicted for a population. It is usually a claim…
![Null and Alternative Hypotheses](https://jovecdn2.ccindex.cn/files/media/science-education/science-education-thumbs/13609.jpg)
The actual hypothesis testing begins by considering two hypotheses. They are termed the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. These…
![<em>P</em>-value](https://jovecdn2.ccindex.cn/files/media/science-education/science-education-thumbs/13611.jpg)
P-value is one of the most crucial concepts in statistics.
P-value stands for the probability value. P-value is the probability that, if the…
![Types of Hypothesis Testing](https://jovecdn2.ccindex.cn/files/media/science-education/science-education-thumbs/13612.jpg)
There are three types of hypothesis tests: right-tailed, left-tailed, and two-tailed.
When the null and alternative hypotheses are stated, it is…
