Learn why hypothesis testing is useful, and step through the workflow for a one sample proportion test. In doing so, you'll encounter important concepts like z-scores, p-p-values, and false negative and false positive errors. The Stack Overflow survey and late medical shipments datasets are introduced.

StackOverflow Survey

Hypothesis testing lets you ask questions about your datasets and answer them in a statistically rigorous way. In this course you'll learn how and when to use common tests like t-tests, proportion tests, and chi-square tests. You'll gain a deep understanding of how they work, and the assumptions that underlie them. You'll also learn how different hypothesis tests are related using the "There is only one test" framework, and use non-parametric tests that let you side-step the requirements of traditional hypothesis tests. Throughout the course, you'll explore a Stack Overflow user survey, and a dataset of late shipments of medical supplies.

<h2>Learn About T-Tests and Chi-Square Tests</h2>
You’ll start by learning why hypothesis testing in R is useful while examining some key concepts as you go. You’ll also learn how t-tests can help you test for differences in means between two groups and how chi-square tests can help you compare observed results with expected results.

<h2>Understand the Relationships Between R Hypothesis Tests</h2>
As you progress, you’ll discover the relationships between different tests, exploring elements of randomness, independence of observation, and sample sizes.

To test the effectiveness of a new elementary school study technique, pre- and post-tests are given to the same random sample of students.

Scientists wish to understand whether older children like sugar less than younger children. Sibling pairs were surveyed on their sugar preferences.

To test the effectiveness of a new elementary school study technique, pre- and post-tests are given to two different random samples of students.

To understand how location affects income, a survey of adults living in Kiev and another survey of adults living in London were conducted.
