Abstract: Abstract Business managers must always be ready to make decisions and take action on the basis of available information. During the process of decision making, managers form hypotheses that they can scientifically test by using that available information. They then make decisions in the light of the outcome. In this chapter, we use the concepts of point estimate and interval estimate discussed in Chaps. 8 , 9 , and 10 to test hypotheses made about population parameters on the basis of sample data.
