- Summary of the hypothesis test
The
hypothesis test itself has an established process. This can be summarized as follows:
- Determine
and
. Remember, they are contradictory.
- Determine the random variable.
- Determine the distribution for the test.
- Draw a graph, calculate the test statistic, and use the test statistic to calculate the
p-value . (A z-score and a t-score are examples of test statistics.)
- Compare the preconceived
with the p-value, make a decision (reject or do not reject
), and write a clear conclusion using English sentences.
Notice that in performing the hypothesis test, you use
and not
.
is needed to help
determine the sample size of the data that is used in calculating the p-value. Rememberthat the quantity
is called the
Power of the Test . A high power is desirable. If the
power is too low, statisticians typically increase the sample size while keeping
the same.
If the power is low, the null hypothesis might not be rejected when it should be.

in what situation (s) would be the use of a scanning electron microscope be ideal and why?
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,
