Hypothesis
in statistics, is a claim or statement about a property of a population

Rare Event Rule for Inferential Statistics
If, under a given assumption, the probability of a particular observed event is exceptionally small, we conclude that the assumption is probably not correct.

Note about Forming Your Own Claims (Hypotheses)
If you are conducting a study and want to use a hypothesis test to support your claim, the claim must be worded so that it becomes the alternative hypothesis.

Note about Testing the Validity of Someone Else’s Claim
Someone else’s claim may become the null hypothesis (because it contains equality), and it sometimes becomes the alternative hypothesis (because it does not contain equality).

Accept versus Fail to Reject
some texts use “accept the null hypothesis
we are not proving the null hypothesis
sample evidence is not strong enough to warrant rejection (such as not enough evidence to convict a suspect)

Type I ErrorThe mistake of rejecting the null hypothesis
when it is true.
(alpha) is used to represent the probability of a type I error
Example: Rejecting a claim that the mean body temperature is 98.6 degrees when the mean really does equal 98.6

Type II Errorthe mistake of failing to reject the null
hypothesis when it is false.
ß (beta) is used to represent the probability of a type II error
Example: Failing to reject the claim that the mean body temperature is 98.6 degrees when the mean is really different from 98.6

Controlling Type I and Type II Errors
For any fixed , an increase in the sample size n will cause a decrease in
For any fixed sample size n , a decrease in will cause an increase in . Conversely, an increase in will cause a decrease in .
To decrease both and , increase the sample size.

Definition
Power of a Hypothesis Test
is the probability (1 - ) of rejecting a false null hypothesis, which is computed by using a particular significance level and a particular value of the mean that is an alternative to the value assumed true in the null hypothesis.
