Hypothesis Test Steps
by S. Gramlich
(updated 11/26/07)

1)  Identify Hypotheses:
	Ho:  Null Hypothesis, contains equals
	H1:  Alternative Hypothesis, does not contain equals

2)  Write given (alpha, n, sample stats)

3)  find critical value (cv)

4)  calculate test statistic (ts)

5)  Draw normal curve & label cv, ts, & shade critical region

6)  Traditional Method Decision Rule (DR)
	if ts inside critical region, reject null.
	if ts outside critical region, fail to reject null.

7)  find P-value

8)  P-Value Method DR
	if p-val <= alpha, reject.
	if p-val > alpha, fail to reject.

9)  State conclusion in words relative to the original claim.
