Recap of AE

  • A hypothesis test is a statistical technique used to evaluate competing claims (null and alternative hypotheses) using data.
  • We simulate a null distribution using our original data.
  • We use our sample statistic and direction of the alternative hypothesis to calculate the p-value.
  • We use the p-value to determine conclusions about the alternative hypotheses.
