| Xuengzilam | Null hypothesis is always about something we want to test in the population, not what we already know from the sample. |
| Xuengzilam | Sample mean: The sample mean is calculated from the data -- it's an observed value, not a claim. Sample statistic: it is used to test the hypothesis, not claimed by it. |
