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.
