Question

ou intend to draw a random sample in order to test a hypothesis about an unknown population mean. You will use a hypothesis test. A description of each of the steps of a hypothesis test follows, but they may be specified in the incorrect order. Specify the correct order of the steps. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Draw a conclusion about the unknown population using what is known about the sample. Determine the probability at which you will conclude that the sample outcome is very unlikely. Draw a random sample, and calculate the sample statistic.

Answer 1

Determine the null and alternative hypotheses : STEP 1

Draw a conclusion about the unknown population using what is known about the sample : STEP 4

Determine the probability at which you will conclude that the sample outcome is very unlikely : STEP 2

Draw a random sample and calculate the sample statistic : STEP 3

Explanation:

The correct order of the steps are :

Determine the null and alternative hypotheses : STEP 1

Draw a conclusion about the unknown population using what is known about the sample : STEP 4

Determine the probability at which you will conclude that the sample outcome is very unlikely : STEP 2

Draw a random sample and calculate the sample statistic : STEP 3
