Using the confidence interval when conducting a two-tail test for the population mean μ,we do not reject the null hypothesis if the hypothesized value for μ falls between the lower and upper confidence limits.
Confidence Interval
A range of values that is likely to contain a population parameter with a certain level of confidence.
Null Hypothesis
A default hypothesis that there is no effect or no difference, and the observed outcomes are due to chance; it is the hypothesis tested for possible rejection in statistical analysis.
Hypothesized Value
A specified value in hypothesis testing which is assumed for the sake of argument or investigation.
- Familiarize oneself with the interrelation between confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.
- Acquire knowledge on determining the rejection or acceptance of a null hypothesis with respect to the p-value and significance level.
