# Hypothesis Testing

*If the sample was carefully selected and drawn, we can claim with 95% confidence that there is no such relationship.*

Internet use and gender · n = 30

| Internet use | Gender | Total |  |
|------|------|------|------|
| Male | Female |  |  |
| rarely | 5 | 10 | 15 |
| frequently | 10 | 5 | 15 |
| Total | 15 | 15 | n = 30 |

Do men really use the internet more often than women — in the population?

Answer: The sample provides no evidence for it.

If the sample was carefully selected and drawn, we can claim with **95% confidence** that there is no such relationship.

Otherwise — **we don't know.**
