This is a full lecture-style video introducing hypothesis testing, pitched at the level of an applied introductory statistics course at university. The focus is on big-picture concepts rather than the mechanics of any specific test.
Here I work through the start of my lecture outline document, a condensed version of the hypothesis testing chapter from my textbook. Students in my STAT I course at the University of Guelph have these materials.
If you're looking for a quick procedural walkthrough, this isn't the right video for you; these lectures are about statistical thinking. I have many shorter videos dedicated to specific topics that may be more appropriate.
