Welcome to CFA Level 1 Hypothesis Testing Components. Hypothesis testing is a fundamental statistical method that allows us to make informed decisions about population parameters using sample data. Think of it as a systematic way to test claims or assumptions about a population. We start with a question or claim, gather sample evidence, and then decide whether to accept or reject that claim based on the strength of our evidence. Hypothesis testing has five key components that work together. First, the null hypothesis H-zero, which is the claim we want to test, usually stating no effect or no difference. Second, the alternative hypothesis H-one, the competing claim or what we suspect might be true. Third, the test statistic, a calculated value measuring how far our sample data is from what H-zero predicts. Fourth, the significance level alpha, our probability threshold for rejecting H-zero, commonly set at 0.05. Finally, the p-value, which tells us the probability of getting our observed result, or something more extreme, if H-zero were actually true. Every hypothesis test starts with formulating two competing hypotheses. The null hypothesis H-zero represents the status quo or the claim we want to test, typically stating that a parameter equals a specific value. The alternative hypothesis H-one represents what we suspect might be true instead. Think of them as two sides of a balance scale - our job is to determine which side the evidence supports. For example, if we're testing whether the average stock return equals 8 percent, our null hypothesis would state mu equals 8 percent, while the alternative would state mu does not equal 8 percent. The test statistic is our key piece of evidence. It measures how many standard errors our sample mean is away from the hypothesized population mean. The formula shows we take our sample mean minus the hypothesized mean, divided by the standard error. A larger test statistic means our sample result is further from what H-zero predicts. The p-value then answers a crucial question: if the null hypothesis were actually true, what's the probability of getting a test statistic this extreme or more extreme? In this normal distribution, the shaded red areas represent the p-value - the probability of getting results in the tails if H-zero is true. Now for the decision rule that ties everything together. If our p-value is less than or equal to alpha, we reject the null hypothesis, concluding we have sufficient evidence against it. If the p-value is greater than alpha, we fail to reject the null hypothesis, meaning we don't have enough evidence to conclude it's false. Remember these key takeaways: Hypothesis testing provides a systematic framework for making statistical decisions. The five components - null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, significance level, and p-value - all work together. The p-value measures the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis. We never "accept" the null hypothesis, only "fail to reject" it. And common significance levels are 0.05, 0.01, and 0.10. Master these components and you'll be well-prepared for CFA Level 1 success! Let's dive deeper into hypotheses using a court trial analogy. The null hypothesis H-zero represents the status quo - like presuming a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. It typically states there is no effect or no difference. The alternative hypothesis H-one represents what we suspect might be true - like the prosecution's claim that the defendant is guilty. In our portfolio example, H-zero states the average return equals 10 percent, while H-one states it does not equal 10 percent. Just like in court, we need evidence to decide between these competing claims. The test statistic is our measuring tool that quantifies how far our sample result is from what the null hypothesis predicts. The formula shows we take our sample mean minus the hypothesized mean, then divide by the standard error. Think of it as a ruler measuring distance from H-zero. When the test statistic is close to zero, our sample supports the null hypothesis. But as the absolute value gets larger, we have stronger evidence against H-zero. Let's see this in action as our sample moves along the scale. Now let's understand significance level alpha and p-value. Alpha is our probability threshold, set before testing, representing our tolerance for Type I error - rejecting a true null hypothesis. Common values are 0.05, 0.01, and 0.10. The red shaded areas show the rejection regions. The p-value, shown in orange, is the probability of getting our test statistic or more extreme if H-zero is true. Watch how the p-value changes as our test statistic moves. When p-value is less than or equal to alpha, we reject H-zero. When it's greater than alpha, we fail to reject H-zero. Let's summarize the complete hypothesis testing framework. First, we set up our null and alternative hypotheses. Second, we choose our significance level alpha. Third, we collect sample data and calculate our test statistic. Fourth, we calculate the p-value. Finally, we compare the p-value to alpha and make our decision. Remember these key takeaways for CFA Level 1: H-zero represents the status quo while H-one is what we suspect. The test statistic measures how far our sample is from H-zero. Alpha represents our tolerance for Type I error. The p-value is the probability of getting our result if H-zero is true. Our decision rule is simple: if p-value is less than or equal to alpha, reject H-zero; otherwise, fail to reject. Never say we "accept" H-zero, only that we "fail to reject" it. Master these components and you'll excel in the quantitative methods section!
