How to Calculate Hypothesis Testing

What is Hypothesis Testing?

A hypothesis testing calculator computes p-values from test statistics. The p-value measures how likely the observed result is under the null hypothesis — below 0.05 is typically considered significant.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1H₀ (null) vs H₁ (alternative) hypothesis
  2. 2p-value < α (typically 0.05): reject H₀
  3. 3One-tailed vs two-tailed test choice depends on hypothesis direction
  4. 4Type I error (α) = false positive rate

Worked Examples

Input
z-score = 2.5, two-tailed test
Result
p-value = 0.0124 < 0.05 → reject null hypothesis

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hypothesis Testing?

A hypothesis testing calculator computes p-values from test statistics. The p-value measures how likely the observed result is under the null hypothesis — below 0
