Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Concerns about hypothesis testing stem from how researchers interpret the results of statistical analyses. This includes issues such as misinterpreting statistical significance as practical significance, mistaking correlation for causation, and failing to consider alternative explanations for findings. The other answer options (sample size, implementation, and confidence level) may impact the results of the hypothesis test, but they do not necessarily address concerns about the test itself.
