Hypothesis Testing

22 resources created by 21 users

This Hypothesis Testing page on GoConqr gathers community-made quizzes, mind maps, flashcards, notes and slide sets, from null and alternative hypotheses and p-values to t-tests, chi-square and non-parametric tests. It's built for university students practising how to choose and run a test, and for teachers after ready-made material. There are over 120 resources here, including more than 20 quizzes, more than 40 mind maps and more than 40 flashcard decks. Open a quiz to find your gaps, then revisit the maps.

About Hypothesis Testing

GoConqr Original

What the page covers

The resources follow the usual path of a hypothesis test. Early items deal with the null and alternative hypothesis, type I and type II errors, p-values and confidence intervals. Later ones move on to choosing between tests and reading the result.

  • Hypotheses and errors: the mind maps Null + Alternative Hypothesis and Null hypothesis significance testing, and the flashcard deck Type 1 and II Error.
  • Means: the mind maps The Student T-test, Independent T-test and Dependent (related) t-test, with matching quizzes.
  • Categories and ranks: the Chi-Square mind map and the quiz on the types of non parametric tests.
  • Proportions: the mind maps Single Population Proportion and Compare 2 Population Proportions.

Where to start

Begin with the Statistics mind map or the Hypothesis Testing notes to fix the vocabulary. Then try the flashcards in Stats 151 - Testing a Hypotheses, which ask what Ho and Ha are and how the two kinds of error differ. Once those feel familiar, move to one-sample tests, such as the mind map Chapter 10: One-Sample Tests of Hypothesis, and then to two-sample tests.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first to see the steps of a test: state the hypotheses, pick the test, work out the statistic, decide. Then take a quiz on the same test. The quiz ASM 1 opens with a question on what statistical significance means, and it includes a worked scenario about stream acidity. When you miss a question, go back to the map branch it belongs to.

The Numerical Stat Tests mind map is useful for the choosing step. It sorts tests by one group, two groups or more than two groups, and by parametric or non-parametric.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Statistical Inference strand of Statistics and probability. The page also lists items on ANOVA, Pearson Correlation and power analysis, which sit close by.

Make it your own

Pick one test you find hard, work through its map and quiz, and then write a few flashcards in your own words. Teachers can set a deck or quiz from the list as ready-made practice.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

For a gentle start, open the Statistics mind map or the Hypothesis Testing notes to meet the key terms. Then try the flashcards in Stats 151 - Testing a Hypotheses, which cover Ho, Ha and the two types of error. After that, a quiz will show what has stuck.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

There are more than 40 mind maps. They cover null and alternative hypotheses, p-values and confidence intervals, t-tests, chi-square, non-parametric tests, ANOVA, correlation and tests for proportions. Numerical Stat Tests helps with choosing a test, since it sorts them by number of groups.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Who are these resources for?

They mainly suit university students, since most of the material is at that level, and a small share is aimed at school. Students use them to practise stating hypotheses, picking a test and interpreting results. Teachers can use the quizzes and decks as ready-made practice.

How can I practise choosing the right test?

Start with the Numerical Stat Tests mind map and the flashcard deck Which statistical test to use? Then try the quiz Statistics Scenario Quiz, where you decide which test fits a situation. The quiz on non-parametric and chi squared tests gives extra practice.

What if I can't find the exact topic I need?

Look at neighbouring items first. Topics such as ANOVA, power and effect size, Pearson Correlation and the sign test have their own resources here. If a gap remains, you can make your own mind map, quiz or flashcards and use them for revision.
