Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
State hypotheses, Set significance level (alpha), Collect data, Compute test statistic, Make decision
Hypothesis testing involves stating hypotheses, setting alpha, collecting data, computing test statistic, and making a decision.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
State hypotheses, Set significance level (alpha), Collect data, Compute test statistic, Make decision
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because hypothesis testing starts with defining the hypotheses and significance level before gathering data, then using the data to compute the test statistic, and finally making a decision based on the comparison with the critical value or p-value.
- ✗
Collect data, State hypotheses, Set significance level (alpha), Compute test statistic, Make decision
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because hypotheses must be stated before data collection to avoid bias and to determine the appropriate data to collect. Setting alpha also precedes data collection to control Type I error rate.
- ✗
State hypotheses, Set significance level (alpha), Compute test statistic, Collect data, Make decision
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot compute a test statistic without data. Data must be collected before computing the test statistic.
- ✗
State hypotheses, Collect data, Set significance level (alpha), Compute test statistic, Make decision
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the significance level (alpha) should be set before data collection to ensure that the decision criterion is predetermined and not influenced by the observed data.
