1. Hypothesis Testing

2. What is a Hypothesis?
Claim Average Weekly Entertainment Spending is 55?
How would you test that claim?
Make it interesting, what if a add company will pay $1,000 to get a commerical message infront of the class if the Mojo is greater than 55, but they will only pay $500 if the Mojo level is less than 55.
I make the claim that the Mojo level is 55, I'd like the $1,000.
How could I convince the advertiser that is true?
Sample, it will not equal true population value. It will be close, but how close will it be?

4. Hypothesis Testing
Statistical hypothesis testing represents a formal, systematic approach to evaluating data, and deciding whether the results from an observed sample of data can be generalized to a larger population, or if instead the results might just be due to chance.

42. p-value
The p-value is a measure of the evidence against H0; it is the probability of observing the test statistic z given that H0 is true.

43. p-value
The p-value is a measure of the evidence against H0; it is the probability of observing the test statistic z given that H0 is true.
Small p-value  (accept/reject) H0
Large p-value  (accept/reject) H0

44. p-value
pr(z<-2.67) + pr(z>2.67)
2 x pr(z>2.67)
= 2 x (0.0038)
p-value = (0.0076)
