Introduction: Hypothesis Tests
The null hypothesis is a claim about a parameter that is assumed true until proven otherwise. If the null hypothesis is false, the data supports the alternative hypothesis.
When making a decision, there are two types of errors. A Type I error is when a true null hypothesis is rejected. A Type II error is when a false null hypothesis is not rejected.
A p-value is the chance that we obtained what we observed or something more extreme in the direction of the alternative hypothesis if the null hypothesis is true.
