1. Decision πΉπΉπΉπΉπΉπΉ π― π ππππ ππ πΉπΉπΉπΉπΉπΉ π― π
Reason π < πΌ π > πΌ
Conclusion The results of the sample
data support π» π and reject
π»0
The results of the sample data
do not support π» π and do not
reject π»0
Example 1: Itβs a Boy Genetics Labs claim their procedures improve the chances of a boy
being born. The results for a test of a single population proportion are as follows:
π»0: π = 0.5
π» π: π > 0.5
πΌ = 0.01
π = 0.023
Decision: Since π < πΌ we reject the null hypothesis
Conclusion: The results of the sample data support the claim that Itβs a Boy Genetics Labs
improve the chances of a boy being born at the 0.01 level of significance.
Example 2: The mean age of graduate students at PC University is claimed to be 30 years.
The results of a test of a single population mean are as follows:
π»0: π = 30
π» π: π β 30
πΌ = 0.05
π = 0.11
Decision: Since π > πΌ we fail to reject the null hypothesis
Conclusion: The results of the sample data do not reject the claim that the mean age of
graduate students at PCU is 30 years at the 0.05 level of significance.
Note: Notice how we always relate our conclusion back to the claim whether it is the null or
alternative. In most cases the claim will be the alternative.
