Start by finding a null and alternative hypothesis, eg: -- Null: The chance of *x* taking place is *y*%. This is often given in the problem -- Alternative: If you're being asked to determine if something has changed, you're determining whether or not *x* is not equal to y +- Null: *x* is *y*. This is often given in the problem +- Alternative: If you're being asked to determine if something has changed, you're determining whether or not *x* is equal to. If you're being asked to find the more than, or less than, it's a one sided test. +Then find the SE, take the EV and the observed value, and find the $z$ score. You can use this $z$ score combined with something like $normalcdf$ to find the amount that is outside of the expected range. If that total amount is less than 5%, than the null hypothesis should be rejected. If that total amount is more than 5%, the difference is too small, and it should not | Term | Description | | ---- | ---- |
