HYPOTHESIS TESTING: ASPERGER SYNDROME 2
Abstract
Hypothesis testing is most essential when one is seeking answers to an important
question such as a reason for a medical condition. The hypothesis testing through statistics says
that boys between the ages of two and six within families who show signs of Autism are more
likely to show symptoms of Asperger syndrome compared to girls are who fall under the same
parameters of the boys tested. The statistical data fell within the margin of error, type 1 error, and
after calculating all the data, the null hypothesis rejection is based upon the z score, which says
the alternate hypothesis has been accepted.

The hypothesis testing through statistics says that boys between the ages of two and six within families who show signs of Autism are more likely to show symptoms of Asperger syndrome compared to girls are who fall under the same parameters of the boys tested. The statistical data fell within the margin of error, type 1 error, and after calculating all the data, the null hypothesis rejection is based upon the z score, which says the alternate hypothesis has been accepted. Hypothesis Testing: Asperger Syndrome When performing a hypothesis test, one is trying statistically to answer a question. The question is are boys between the ages of two to six within a family who show signs of Autism more disposed to asperger syndrome compared to girls are who fall between the same parameters. After the question, creating a hypothesis occurs. One may ask, why create a hypothesis or what is the value of testing a hypothesis. These questions and others such as what is Autism and Asperger syndrome and how does one develop a verbal and numerical hypothesis to discover the statistics to answer the hypotheses. As one is discovering the answers to these questions, he or she will understand the five steps involved in a hypothesis test. So the journey to di ...
