To determine if there is a significant difference or effect.<\/p>\n<p>Hypothesis testing is a statistical method used to determine whether there is a significant difference between two groups or whether there is a significant effect of a treatment.

The hypothesis is then tested by collecting data and calculating a test statistic. The test statistic is then compared to a critical value, which is a value that indicates the probability of obtaining the observed results if the null hypothesis is true. If the test statistic is greater than the critical value, then the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted.
