Hypothesis Test Steps
by S. Gramlich
(updated 4/14/09)

1)  Identify Hypotheses:
	Ho:  Fits claimed distribution
	H1:  Does NOT fit claimed distribution

2)  Write given (alpha, contigency table, n)

3)  find critical value (cv) from Table A-4

4)  calculate test statistic (ts)

5)  Draw chi-square curve, shade critical region, & label cv, ts.

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

7)  find P-value

8)  P-Value Method DR
	if p-val > alpha, fail to reject null.
	if p-val <= alpha, reject null.
	
9)  State conclusion in English words relative to original claim.
