I first need to describe what each of these terms mean.
Hypothesis Testing
This is a technique that applies by businesses consecutively to acquire conclusions regarding population developing information taken from an example or sampling of a test data. The information taken from an example is collected so that a conclusion can be made by the analysis to either accept or reject the hypothesis.
