Practical Data Science using Python - Hypothesis Testing

The video tutorial explains hypothesis testing, a statistical method used to determine if observed differences are due to chance or are significant. It uses an example of testing paracetamol content in tablets to illustrate the process. The tutorial covers the steps involved, including calculating standard error and test statistics, and explains the concepts of null and alternate hypotheses. It also discusses the significance of P-values and how they help in decision-making regarding the null hypothesis.

What is hypothesis testing and why is it important in statistical experiments?

Describe the process of conducting a quality check on a consignment of tablets.

Explain how the standard deviation and standard error are calculated in hypothesis testing.

What does it mean when the observed value is said to be statistically significant?

What are the null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis in the context of the example provided?

Why is it important to frame both the null and alternate hypotheses?

Discuss the role of the Z test in hypothesis testing.

What is the significance level or P value, and how is it interpreted?

How do you determine the cutoff value in hypothesis testing?

What steps are involved in conducting hypothesis testing as outlined in the lesson?
