| how do you test two possible ideas? | take the Uo of the two bell curves and see which is closer to the sample mean |
| the hypotheses is? | a claim about the hypotheses |
| if you are testing if a drug works how do name the sides of the hypothesis? | Ho if it has no effect because this side is null. Ha is it works because this is the alternative |

| what are the steps for solving a hypothesis at significance level? | first find out what part is the Ho and the Ha. then specify the significance level alpha. find the test statistics and the critical value. calculate test statistics. make the decision or conclusion |
| how would you test the hypothesis that the diameter of a cylinder is 50 cm? | Ho is the diameter is 50. Ha is it is not 50. the percent significance level will be given. use this to find the alpha sections on the graph a/2. calculate for z or t statistics in this case z. |
