1.3 Level of significance is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is
true, usually set at a predetermined value, such as 0.05 or 0.01.
1.4 α value: The level of significance, often set at 0.05 or 0.01, used to determine

1.5 x refers to the sample mean, which is the sum of all observations divided by the
total number of observations.
1.6 Standard deviation is a measure of how much the data values deviate from the
mean of the data set.
1.7 Variance refers to a measure of the spread of a data set, calculated as the
average of the squared deviations from the mean.
1.8 Standard error is a measure of the variability of a sample mean, calculated as
the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample
size.
1.9 Test statistic is a value calculated from sample data used to determine whether
to reject or accept the null hypothesis.
1.10 Frequency distribution refers to a representation of the number of times a
particular value occurs in a data set.
