The six steps in the hypothesis testing procedure are:
1. State the null and alternate hypotheses
2. Select a level of significance (alpha)
3. Determine the test statistic and calculate its value
4. Determine the p-value
5. Make a decision based on the p-value and alpha
6. State the conclusion and interpret the results.

Selecting a level for β is not a step in the hypothesis testing procedure. Beta is the probability of making a Type II error and is typically not specified in the hypothesis testing process.
