  • Fishing and Hypothesis Testing!




    • Hypothesis testing is a procedure of estimating the average weight of all fishes (not possible to calculate till we take out all the fishes = population) in the pond based on the data obtained from the sample of fishes caught for purpose. Since hypothesis testing is based on the sample data hence, there would be some inherent error in estimating the population parameter. Because of this error we would get an interval instead of a particular value for the population parameter.
