Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The six steps in the hypothesis testing procedure are:
1. State the null and alternate hypotheses 
2. Choose the level of significance 
3. Determine the appropriate test statistic 
4. Calculate the p-value 
5. Make a decision and interpret the results 
6. State conclusions in the context of the problem. 
Selecting a level for β is not one of the steps in the hypothesis testing procedure. Beta is the risk of making a type II error, and it is determined by the sample size, the level of significance, and the effect size. It is not a step in the hypothesis testing procedure itself.
