CONCEPT OF HYPOTHESIS

1
HYPOTHESIS
Meaning And Definition :
The English word hypothesis comes from the ancient
Greek word ὑπόθεσις hypothesis whose literal or
etymological sense is "putting or placing under" and
hence in extended use has many other meanings
including "supposition".
A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is
proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be
tested to see if it might be true.

Hypothesis Testing
 Is An Assumption or an Idea
 A statistical Hypothesis is an claim (assertion,
statement or assumption) about an unknown
population parameter value.

• For example : A judge assumed that a person charged with a crime is


innocent and subject this assumption hypothesis to a verification by
reviewing the evidence and hearing testimony before reaching to a
verdict.

Hypothesis Testing
• a hypothesis is a statement to be tested about the true value of p
parameter using sample statistics.
• to test the validity of the claim or assumption about the populatio
parameter,
○ a sample is drawn from the population and analysed.
• The results of the analysis are used to decide whether
the claim is true or not.

Hypothesis Testing (cont.)
 Hypothesis Steps
 Null Hypothesis (H0) and Alternative Hypothesis (H1)
 • Null hypothesis: The hypothesis which is initially assumed to be true,
although it may in fact be either true based on the sample data ence'
between or false
 • 'zero' implies 'no sample statistic and the parameter value. lesting
requires that
 hypothesis testing requires that the null hypothesis be considered true
(status quo or no difference) until it is proved false on the basis of
results observed from the sample data.
 • H0 : μ (≤, =, ≥) μ0

5
Hypothesis Testing (cont.)
• Alternative hypothesis: The hypothesis concluded
to be true if the null hypothesis is rejected.
nce
• In other words, the alternative hypothesis states
that specific population parameter value is not
equal to the value stated in the null hypothesis
• written as: ○ H1: μ≠ μ0 ο

6
Errors in Hypothesis Tests
(cont.)
Because the hypothesis test relies on sample data,
and because sample data are not completely reliable,
there is always the risk that misleading data will cause
the hypothesis test to reach a wrong conclusion.
Two types of error are possible.

7
Type I Errors
A Type I error occurs when the sample data appear to show a
treatment effect when, in fact, there is none.
 In this case the researcher will reject the null hypothesis and
falsely conclude that the treatment has an effect.
Type I errors are caused by unusual, unrepresentative
samples. Just by chance the researcher selects an extreme
sample with the result that the sample falls in the critical
region even though the treatment has no effect.
The hypothesis test is structured so that Type I errors are very
unlikely; specifically, the probability of a Type I error is equal
to the alpha level.

8
Type II Errors
A Type II error occurs when the sample does not
appear to have been affected by the treatment when,
in fact, the treatment does have an effect.
In this case, the researcher will fail to reject the null
hypothesis and falsely conclude that the treatment
does not have an effect.
Type II errors are commonly the result of a very small
treatment effect. Although the treatment does have
an effect, it is not large enough to show up in the
research study.
