Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the FIRST step of a hypothesis test?
A
Check assumptions & conditions
B
Find your test statistic
C
State your conclusion
D
State your null & alternative hypotheses
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The following steps are involved in hypothesis testing: The first step is to state the null and alternative hypothesis clearly. The null and alternative hypothesis in hypothesis testing can be a one tailed or two tailed test. The second step is to determine the test size.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first step in performing a hypothesis test is to establish the null and alternative hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis is the one we are testing. Instead, the null hypothesis is the one we use to make the final test decision.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the Null Hypothesis? The null hypothesis states that there is no relationship between two population parameters, i.e., an independent variable and a dependent variable. If the hypothesis shows a relationship between the two parameters, the outcome could be due to an experimental or sampling error.

Detailed explanation-4: -State the null and alternative hypotheses. Specify and the sample size. Select an appropriate statistical test. Collect data (note that the previous steps should be done prior to collecting data) Compute the test statistic based on the sample data. More items
