Expert Solution
Step 1: INTRODUCTION

In hypothesis testing, there are typically two competing hypotheses: the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (H1). The goal is to make inferences about the population based on sample data and decide whether there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. The significance level (α) is set in advance to control the probability of making a Type I error (false positive)
