The Process of Hypothesis Testing

In this section you will discuss the process for hypothesis testing. State and explain the steps of hypothesis testing. When performing a hypothesis test, which method do you prefer; P-Value method or Critical Value (classical) method? Why?

Claim: In the past the average salary in Georgia for all jobs was $65,000. Your supervisor claims that the average salary is now less than $65,000.

you should test the claim using α = 0.05. You may assume your data comes from a normally distributed population, but σ is unknown. Based on your selected topic, perform and document the following steps:

Write the null and alternative hypothesis symbolically and identify which hypothesis is the claim.

Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed? Explain.

Which test statistic will you use for your hypothesis test; z-test or t-test? Explain.

What is the value of the test-statistic? Show your calculation

Either find the p-value or critical value depending on your preference. Explain how you calculated or found it.

What is your decision? Reject the null or do not reject the null? Explain why you made your decision including the results for your p-value and the critical value.

State the final conclusion in non-technical terms
