... It would be a bit of a coincidence if the data exactly matched the hypothesis, even if the hypothesis is true. Inevitably, experimental errors will lead to some discrepancies. So, we don’t want to throw out the hypothesis too easily; we can’t throw it out any time there is a small discrepancy. The t ...

... In this section we develop a procedure to test the hypotheses about the relative values of the variances of two normally distributed populations. The following example illustrates the use of the test: · Economists commonly use variance of rate of return on a stock as the measure of volatility of a s ...

... we compare this p-value to some standard called a “level of significance” which means that if the p-value is below, i.e. less than, this standard the relationship is deemed statistically significant. That is, the correlation is statistically different from zero. A value of 0.05 or 5% is a common val ...
