Statistics · Module 8 · Hypothesis testing with one sample

Hypothesis Testing Lab

Set the null value, the sample result, n and α, and watch the p-value shade in and the decision flip; see α and β trade off on two curves. Then solve unlimited test problems with worked solutions, race the clock in Verdict Sprint, and test real claims from health, sports, money and science. Nothing here is graded.

Part 1: Test Explorer

Drag the orange marker on the top curve to change the sample result, or use the sliders.

Top: the null distribution of the test statistic, with the p-value in orange and the rejection region (area α) hatched red. Bottom: the same null curve beside the true curve for the value you pick as the truth, with α, β and power. t-test power uses the noncentral t distribution and treats s as the true σ.
