What is the use of hypothesis testing in real life?

Real-life hypothesis testing allows researchers to test new theories before implementing them. It is used in different industries to set standards for their products. It is especially helpful to statisticians when designing an experiment with many parameters.

What is the difference between simple and composite hypotheses?

Statistical hypotheses are of two types. Simple and composite. A statistical hypothesis that specifies the distribution of the parent population from which the random samples to be used for testing has been generated is known as a simple hypothesis. A statistical hypothesis that does not specify the distribution of the parent population from which the random samples to be used for testing has been generated is known as a composite hypothesis.

What statistical concepts are needed to get a good grasp on hypothesis testing?

One needs to know probability theory, the different types of probability distributions, and statical inference to get a good grasp on the testing of a hypothesis.
