The document discusses hypothesis testing, including the concepts of the null hypothesis, Type I and II errors, and the steps involved in hypothesis testing. It presents a non-directional research question regarding conversational memory differences between boys and girls, along with a directional hypothesis predicting that girls will outperform boys. Additionally, it outlines the potential outcomes of testing and provides an example related to the effects of alcohol.

Introduction
The Null Hypothesis
Type I and II Error
Using Statistics to test the Null Hypothesis
The Logic of Data Analysis
 Research question:

 Non-directional:

 No stated expectation about outcome

 Example:

 Do boys and girls differ in terms of conversational memory?

 Hypothesis:

 Statement of expected relationship

 Directionality of relationship
 Example:

 Girls will have greater conversational memory than boys


Steps in Hypothesis Testing
1. State the hypothesis and select in a level
2. Locate the critical region
3. Compute the test statistics
4. Interpret the results
Potential Outcomes of Testing
DECISION

Accept Null’ Reject Null’

Correct Decision Type Error

Type II Error Correct Decison


Example

The alcohol
Has no effect
Alcohol

Sample M=15
n=16 n=16
The end
