Answer 1

Statistical hypothesis testing can be performed by following the steps below:

1) State the Null Hypothesis

2) State the Alternative Hypothesis

3) Set the alpha (α) level

4) Collect the data

5) Calculate a test statistic

6) Construct Acceptance/Rejection regions

7) Draw a conclusion about the null hypothesis based on steps 5 and 6.

Note that null hypotheses are never accepted. We either reject them or fail to reject them.

Therefore, the correct option is OPTION D.
