Hypothesis testing involves a series of seven explicit steps:

Step 1: Formulating and stating the hypothesis

Step 2: Identifying the appropriate test statistic and its probability distribution

Step 3: Specifying the significance level

Step 4: Stating the decision rule

Step 5: Collecting the data and performing the necessary calculations

Step 6: Making the statistical decision

Step 7: Making the economic/investment decision.

In this example, Carlos Johanson, a quantitative analyst, has been instructed to perform a regression analysis analyzing the relationship between two sets of variables. Mr. Johanson began his task with the appropriate first step - formulating and stating the hypothesis. The next step in the hypothesis testing process is to identify the appropriate test statistic and its probability distribution.
