Hypothesis Testing Quiz

1. What is the purpose of the null hypothesis in hypothesis testing?


a. To prove the research hypothesis
b. To provide an additional hypothesis for comparison
c. To be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis
d. To be accepted as the true state of the population

2. Which of the following represents the claim that is being tested in hypothesis testing?
a. Null hypothesis
b. Level of significance
c. Level of confidence
d. Alternative hypothesis

3. In hypothesis testing, what does the level of significance represent?


a. Probability of making a Type I error
b. Probability of making a Type II error
c. Confidence level of the test
d. Margin of error in the estimate

4. What are rejection regions used for in hypothesis testing?


a. To determine where the null hypothesis is true
b. To determine where the alternative hypothesis is true
c. To establish critical values for the test
d. To specify the values for which the null hypothesis will be rejected

5. Which type of test has rejection regions on both ends of the distribution?
a. Two-tailed test
b. One-tailed test
c. Directional test
d. Non-directional test

6. How are critical values used in hypothesis testing?


a. To calculate the p-value
b. To compare the sample statistic with the population parameter
c. To determine the boundaries for rejecting the null hypothesis
d. To establish the confidence interval

7. What is the key difference between a one-tailed test and a two-tailed test?
a. The one-tailed test has one hypothesis, while the two-tailed test has two
b. The one-tailed test has a single rejection region, while the two-tailed test has two
c. The one-tailed test is more conservative in its conclusions
d. The two-tailed test requires more data for accurate results

8. Which term refers to a hypothesis that specifies the direction of an effect?


a. Null hypothesis
b. Alternative hypothesis
c. Level of significance
d. Level of confidence

9. In hypothesis testing, what does the level of confidence represent?


a. The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true
b. The probability of accepting the null hypothesis when it is false
c. The range of values in which the population parameter is likely to fall
d. The likelihood of obtaining the observed results by chance

10. What statistical concept is used to establish whether the null hypothesis should be
rejected?
a. Confidence intervals
b. P-values
c. Type I error
d. Type II error

11. Which type of test is more sensitive to detecting differences in only one direction?
a. Two-tailed test
b. One-tailed test
c. Directional test
d. Non-directional test

12. What do critical values represent in the context of hypothesis testing?


a. The values at which the null hypothesis must be accepted
b. The values at which the null hypothesis is rejected
c. The values within the confidence interval
d. The values that make up the rejection region

13. Which term refers to the probability of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis?
a. Type I error
b. Type II error
c. Power of the test
d. Confidence level

14. What is the goal of hypothesis testing?


a. To prove the null hypothesis
b. To establish causation between variables
c. To determine the relationship between variables
d. To make an inference about a population parameter

15. What role do alternative hypotheses play in hypothesis testing?


a. They provide additional context for the null hypothesis
b. They are used to establish the level of confidence
c. They represent a different claim than the null hypothesis
d. They determine the directionality of the test
