It's quite possible to use all sort of data to become true a hypothesis. The problem is to find the correct type of data.

What is hypothesis in basic statistic?

A statistician may have some idea about some statistics in a data set, and there is a need to test whether or not that hypothesis is likely to be true. Data are collected and a test statistic is calculated. The value of this test statistic is used to determine the probability that the hypothesis is true.

What is test statistic. Why do you have to know the distribution of a test statistic?

A test statistic is used to test whether a hypothesis that you have about the underlying distribution of your data is correct or not. The test statistic could be the mean, the variance, the maximum or anything else derived from the observed data. When you know the distribution of the test statistic (under the hypothesis that you want to test) you can find out how probable it was that your test statistic had the value it did have. If this probability is very small, then you reject the hypothesis. The test statistic should be chosen so that under one hypothesis it has one outcome and under the is a summary measure based on the data. It could be the mean, the maximum, the variance or any other statistic. You use a test statistic when you are testing between two hypothesis and the test statistic is one You might think of the test statistic as a single number that summarizes the sample data. Some common test statistics are z-score and t-scores.
