MATH 225N Week 7 Discussion Hypothesis Testing Statistical reasoning for health sciences
Describe a hypothesis test study that would help your work or conclusions in some way.Describe what variable would be tested and what would be your guess of the value of thatvariable. Then include how the result, if the null were rejected or not, might change yourconclusions or actions in some way.NB 2 Answers DisplayedAnswer 1We interpret data by assuming a specific structure or outcome and use statistical methods toconfirm or reject the assumption. According to Opens tax, the process begins with a model, isbuild. This theory, if it has validity, will lead to predictions; what we callhypothesis.(Openstax, pg. 381-382)There are two types of statistical hypotheses. Null hypothesis,denoted byH, is usually the hypothesis that sample observations result purely from chance.0Alternative Hypotheses, is denoted byHorHis the hypothesis that sample observations and1a,are influenced by some non-random cause. (Star Trek)A hypothesis test can result in one oftwo way, either rejecting the null hypothesis or claim or by not rejecting the null hypothesis.The variable that I feel would help my work in some way would be intramuscular antibioticsshorten length of illness to 3 days. For my chosen variable, the null hypothesis is representedasH= 3 and the alternative hypothesis, intravenous antibiotics do not shorten illness length0to 3 days, asHa ≠ 3. I chose this variable and value based on my husband's recent experience with an intramuscular antibiotic used to treat his strep throat. He received an injection on 2-10-2019 and today, 2-12-2019, he states feeling back to normal without the presence of afever, sore throat, or fatigue.
