Hypothesis Testing and Business Decisions
consists of several logical steps, and it aims at refining a business decision.
Hypothesis testing is a quite common technique used by researchers.
– What are the steps to conduct a hypothesis test? How does
a researcher determine which statistical test to conduct?
– How does a researcher determine which level of
significance to use?
– What software programs can be used to compute these tests?
Where is the critical test value found?
– How can one determine if the null hypothesis should be
rejected?
– Give a business example on each of the three possible
cases of hypothesis testing. Do you think the rejection region will be
different in each one of the three cases? Why? Why not?
