Abstract

Hypothesis testing is a simple way to construct information about a dataset and to determine if that information is true or false. Another method to think about hypothesis testing is to use it as a way to decide whether an assumption about a dataset succeeds and is supported or fails and is not supported. It is used frequently in science and medicine to better understand the effects of drugs and treatments.
