The Basic Steps Recommended in Hypothesis Testing, in the Correct

The basic steps recommended in hypothesis testing, in the correct order, are

A) analyze data which support an alternative hypothesis or position, conceptualize a null hypothesis, raise the question of the
Probability that the empirical "evidence" supporting the original
Position could have been a statistical accident, calculate the p-value.
B) estimate a p-value, develop and analyze data, conceptualize a null hypothesis, cluster the data into two testable groups.
C) conceptualize a null hypothesis, raise the question of the probability that the empirical "evidence" supporting the original
Position could have been a statistical accident, develop and
Analyze data, calculate the p-value.
D) cluster the data into two or three groups, analyze the data, calculate the p-value, test the null hypothesis.
E) cluster the data into as many groups as needed, develop and analyze the data, raise the question of the probability that the
Empirical "evidence" supporting the original position could have
Been a statistical accident, calculate the p-value.
