# MCQ Hypothesis Testing 1

Multiple Choice Questions from Statistical Inference for the preparation of exam and different statistical job tests in Government/ Semi-Government or Private Organization sectors. These tests are also helpful in getting admission in different colleges and Universities.

Most of the MCQs on this page are covered from Estimate and Estimation, Testing of Hypothesis, Parametric and Non-Parametric tests etc.

Q7: Herbicide A has been used for years in order to kill a particular type of weed. An experiment is to be conducted in order to see whether a new herbicide, Herbicide B, is more effective than Herbicide A. Herbicide A  will continue to be used unless there is sufficient evidence that Herbicide B is more effective. The alternative hypothesis in this problem is

1. ANOVA IS a test for comperison of several mean
question # 8 ans is wrong

1. again see, check word quality

2. ANOVA is a test for comperison of two or more means but its stands for “Analysis of variance” .Its make me confused…would you like to define it please…?

1. group Means are compared on the basis of their variances.

3. You see a book. How could you so confident to say anova is used to compare variance when you are a phd student? very strange!!

1. The comment is also too strange. To Err is human. However, correction is made.
It is not easy to write and update the content, especially the options related work.
Anyhow
Thanks
