UGC NET Hypothesis testing Previous Year Questions (Paper 1)
JRFSmart holds 8 previous-year questions on Hypothesis testing from UGC NET Paper 1 (Teaching and Research Aptitude), filed under Unit 2: Research Aptitude, drawn from 8 of the 87 exam papers in the bank (2024–2026). Each question can be practised with a full explanation and shows how often NTA has returned to the same idea.

Sample previous-year questions
Which of the following statements best describes the p-value in statistical hypothesis testing?
In statistical hypothesis testing, null and alternative hypothesis are statements about:
Arrange the following events in order of decreasing likelihood of Type-I error: A. Keeping significance level at 0.05 for a two-tailed test B. Keeping significance level at 0.05 for a one-tailed test C. Keeping significance level at 0.01 for a two-tailed…
Identify the correct statements about hypothesis testing. (A) A null hypothesis assumes that no relationship between variables or different groups exists. (B) An alternative hypothesis assumes that no relationship between variable or different group exists…
Arrange the following p-values from lower level to higher level of significance: A. 0.0001 B. 0.01 C. 0.05 D. 0.001 E. 0.5 Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
In a situation where a researcher wants to test whether the population mean is lower than some hypothesized value, the researcher would employ-
Suppose H0 = Null Hypothesis, Ha = Alternate Hypothesis, mu = population mean, mu_H0 = hypothesized mean. A researcher sets up H0 : mu = mu_H0 and Ha : mu < mu_H0. In this situation, the researcher would apply
