Definitions:

Critical Value

A point on the scale of the test statistic beyond which we reject the null hypothesis, it's determined by the chosen significance level.

Alternative Hypothesis

A statement that contradicts the null hypothesis and indicates there is an effect or difference.

Critical Value Approach

A method used in hypothesis testing where the value of the test statistic is compared to a critical value to decide whether to reject the null hypothesis.

Hypothesized Population

The theoretical or assumed characteristics of a population from which a sample is drawn for the purpose of hypothesis testing.
