1) Define what a hypothesis is and discuss the relationship between hypothesis testing and statistics.

2) List the five steps required to test a hypothesis of the mean. Be sure that all steps are in the correct sequence. Explain why the fifth step is the most important.

3) Discuss what independent and dependent variables are in an experiment, state the relationship between the two and give an example.
