In statistical hypothesis testing, it represents the probability of committing a Type I error; the threshold significance level.

Critical Values

Thresholds in statistical hypothesis testing that determine the cutoff points for rejecting or not rejecting the null hypothesis.

T-statistic

A type of statistic used in hypothesis testing, calculated by dividing the departure of an estimated parameter from its hypothesized value by its standard error.

Sample Size
