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