Hypothesis Testing

In statistics, hypothesis testing is a form of inference using data to draw certain conclusions about the population. First, we make an assumption about the population which is known as the Null Hypothesis. It is denoted by H₀. Then we define the Alternate Hypothesis which is the opposite of what is stated in the Null Hypothesis, denoted by Hₐ. After defining both the Null Hypothesis and Alternate Hypothesis we perform what is known as a hypothesis test to either accept or reject the Null Hypothesis.
