Lecture

Hypothesis Testing: Statistical Disproof and Probability Calculation

Description

This lecture by the instructor covers the concept of hypothesis testing, where one can statistically disprove a hypothesis by calculating the probability of experimental data assuming the null hypothesis. Through examples like rolling a fair dice, the lecture demonstrates how to determine the likelihood of specific outcomes. It also explains the significance level chosen to reject a hypothesis and emphasizes that statistical statements inherently contain errors. The flow chart presented helps in selecting appropriate statistical tests based on the type of data and question being addressed.
