Binomial testing

Question 1

Steps for hypothesis testing (binomial)

Answer 1

• State null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis
  (H₀ : p = k
  H₁ : p > k or p < k or p!= k)
• Assume H₀ (X~B(n, k)
• Find probability in question, and going more ‘extreme’ ex. if value =1 test for x<=1
• if P < α = reject H₀
• if P > α = no evidence to reject H₀

Question 2

When to accept/reject H₀ in binomial hypothesis testing

Answer 2

If the p value too low, reject that H₀
|
* if P < α = reject H₀
* if P > α = no evidence to reject H₀

Question 3

What to remember when writing a conclusion for binomial hypothesis testing

Answer 3

1. Evidence to reject/accept H₀
2. Context of the question
