Some of the questions that should be asked in relation to statistical tests include:
- Stating the null or alternative hypotheses
- Consideration of statistical assumptions that have already been made to ensure coherence with the population being tested
- Using appropriate test statistic to determine the appropriate probability distribution
- Selecting the significant level
- Stating the decision rule based on the significant level
- Using the data to calculate the test statistic
- Rejecting or accept the null hypothesis
- Determine the error made
- Consideration of economic or financial aspects applied to the problem
The outlined questions are answered based on the statistical analysis they want to prove. In the end, they will be geared towards answering a hypothesis and relating it to the financial aspect in question to enable decision making or prediction. Hypothesis testing can result to major conclusions that can be very useful in research.
