Efficiency is one of the most sought aspects today. Whether at home or the workplace, people are increasingly aiming at having maximum output using fewer resources. Besides this, at the workplace, employees are keen on the prevention of liabilities that could be caused by the duty of care related issues. These aspects have previously inspired my hypothesis formulation and testing in different environments. The first hypothesis that I tested was which option was more convenient, having a personal small vegetable garden or ordering of vegetables online as initially done. The variables to be analyzed in both cases were time, cost, convenience, and the freshness of the vegetables. On coming up with a small home garden and comparing the vegetables from the garden to those ordered online, I found out that although there is a high initial input in coming up with a garden, it is more fulfilling and convenient in comparison to ordering online. The vegetables from the home garden were fresher. I could also pick them any time I wanted, and less or no chemicals were used in comparison to those ordered online. Besides this, another hypothesis I tested at a company I worked for is the fact that wet floor signs reduce the likelihood of falls and related injuries. I made an observation that every time there were several signs about a wet floor, especially when cleaning was in progress, employees tended to use alternative pathways or were extra careful. When there were no signs, individuals were not extra vigilant. In some cases, falls and injuries were witnessed.
In the first hypothesis, the best testing method is the two-sample parameter test. This is because the aspect being tested are independent of each other. There are no parameters that could influence the outcomes of any of the other. On the second hypothesis, however, the one-sample parameter test is the best. This is because there is a correlation between the aspects being tested. Wet floor signs create the relationship. When it is present, people are more vigilant, when it is not there, they are less careful. The best testing method is, therefore, not a definite aspect. It depends on the type of hypothesis.

Hey!. I enjoyed reading your discussion post about hypothesis testing. I believe your hypothesis is highly relevant to the issues related to processed food as they are consumed in different environments today. I agree with your initial results related to the first hypothesis that a healthy diet goes a long way to ensure one can read overnight. This is in comparison to energy drinks. The second hypothesis is, however, not clear enough. I believe stating the hypothesis, and the results that were being sought would have made it clearer. On the type of test to be used, I believe the conclusion was reached after research; hence, the answer is plausible.

Hello!. I found your hypothesis testing experience very interesting. I agree with your assertion that a hypothesis is a research statement made with little or no evidence of the claim put forward. Your experience of searching for a home in a city that you have little information about puts the above definition into context. Although the first part of the discussion is relevant, I believe the second part is incomplete. Only a short explanation of what the one-sample and two-sample tests are, without a conclusion of which is the best. I believe expounding on that would have made the discussion post complete.
