Re: Who "invented" the null hypthesis?

My response


If BY CHANCE you read WIKIPEDIA you would find the following: (quoting)
***If the test statistic is outside the critical region, the only conclusion is that
There is not enough evidence to reject the hypothesis.
This is *not* the same as evidence in favor of the hypothesis. That we cannot obtain using these arguments, since lack of evidence against a hypothesis is not evidence for it. On this basis, statistical research progresses by eliminating error, not by *finding the truth*
Enough
Therefore
a) the term *acceptance region* should not be used because he induces in IGNORANT PEOPLE like you that HT leads to directly accept H0 which is a enormous error. This you should be learned at the COLLEGE because is the most ELEMENTARY THING of the Theory.
Therefore
In the case that we are concerned
WE FAIL TO REJECT (we do not reject) the null Hypotheses.

IF you read (NET) the definition:
***Definition: The significance level of a test is the probability that the test statistic will reject the null hypothesis when the [hypothesis] is true. Significance is a property of the distribution of a test statistic, not of any particular draw of the statistic.***
In numbers (to make easier to your confused mind (?)
5% Significance Level =
= 95% Confidence Level
(or the probability of NOT TO REJECT the null Hypotheses).

Sincere advise of mine:
Take an ELEMENTARY course on Statistics before you post further nonsense.
A last note:
***Excusez-moi Monsieur j´ai fait une erreur impardonnable .En fait *e-mail* et *post* ce sont des choses tellement différents que très difficilement je pouvais faire confusion. J´espère bien votre bienveillance.***
