Avoiding Common Misuses of<br />
Hypo<strong>the</strong>sis Testing (p. 45-46)<br />
Never lose site of your data.<br />
Remember that not all null hypo<strong>the</strong>ses represent<br />
interesting or plausible outcomes of <strong>the</strong> experiment <strong>and</strong><br />
that <strong>the</strong>ir rejection is not inevitably informative.<br />
Remember that <strong>the</strong> null-hypo<strong>the</strong>sis test only gives<br />
information about how likely <strong>the</strong> sampling operations<br />
are to have produced your effect.<br />
When you find a significant effect, ask what it means.<br />
Always interpret your results in <strong>the</strong> context of o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
studies in <strong>the</strong> field.
