Hypothesis testing is a method of using sample data to test a statistical hypothesis about
population parameter.

Null hypothesis is a statement about a population parameter that is assumed to be true.

Even if the mass of the packets of sweets is not known to be

normally distributed, we can still apply Central Limit Theorem to
approximate X by a normal distribution since the sample size is
large. Hence, the calculations are still valid.

Type 1 error is the error of rejecting a null hypothesis Ho, when
it is in fact actually true./occurs when a true Ho is rejected.
Critical region is the set of values of the test statistic for which
the null hypothesis is rejected.
