1 - P(none)
What is normal distribution?
It is probability density function
What is normal distribution dictated by?
Mean and standard deviation
What is the null hypothesis
H0

What is the alternative hypothesis?
H1
A hypothesis that contradicts the null by suggesting that there is a difference between the groups
What is the P value

What is a type l error?
This is when there is a false positive and the null is rejected when it’s actually true
What is a type ll error
