Description

As we attempt to make discoveries, we test new hypotheses using experimental data and hope that a sceptical and discerning person would start to believe the claims we make. Hypothesis testing, a branch of statistics, is a step we can rely on to bolster our claims. In this workshop, you will gain a fundamental understanding of common hypothesis-testing concepts and terms, such as null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, type I error, type II error, p-value, and power.
