    The actual test begins by considering two hypotheses. They are called the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. These hypotheses contain opposing viewpoints.

As in the introductory example we will be concerned with testing the truth of two competing hypotheses, only one of which can be true.

    This page covers hypothesis testing for population means and proportions, detailing the use of normal and Student's \(t\)-distributions, calculation of test statistics (Z-values), and decision-making ...This page covers hypothesis testing for population means and proportions, detailing the use of normal and Student's \(t\)-distributions, calculation of test statistics (Z-values), and decision-making based on critical values and p-values. It emphasizes the bias towards the null hypothesis, discusses one-tailed and two-tailed tests, and outlines a systematic approach for hypothesis testing, including the importance of sample size and the appropriate distribution based on known standard deviation.

The skeptic will not reject the null hypothesis, unless the evidence in favor of the alternative hypothesis is so strong to rejects the null hypothesis.

It emphasizes the importance of understanding sampling variations and discusses tests like t-tests and chi-square tests. It also touches on the misuse of statistics in scientific racism, emphasizing the need for socially just statistical methods. The chapter links statistical inference to broader societal issues.

If we collect 1000 facts that support a theory, it does not mean we have proved it—it is possible that the 1001st piece of evidence will disprove it. This is why in statistical testing we commonly use two hypotheses. The one we are trying to prove is called the alternative hypothesis (H₁). The other, default one, is called the null hypothesis (H₀).
