Guide: Understanding and Answering Questions on Hypothesis Setting in A/B Testing for PMI-ACP Exam

Hypothesis setting is an essential step in the A/B testing process, aiming to make informed decisions and improve outcomes based on reliable data. It involves formulating a clear, testable prediction about the anticipated impact of a specific change.
It operates on the notion of a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis states no effect, and the alternative anticipates some effect.
To answer exam questions on this topic:

1. Understand the Concepts: Know the definitions, concept of null and alternative hypothesis, and their roles in A/B testing.
2. Frame Hypothesis Correctly: The exam may ask you to identify or create correct hypothesis settings, so practice writing these and understanding how changes in a scenario might change your hypothesis.
3. Contextual Understanding: Understand how hypothesis setting fits within the broader context of Agile Project Management and how it supports informed decision-making.
4. Practical Application: Be able to analyse a given scenario and correctly apply your knowledge of A/B testing and hypothesis setting.
Always read the question carefully to ensure you're addressing exactly what's being asked.

Hypothesis Setting practice test

In A/B testing, the first step is to set a hypothesis. This involves identifying a problem or opportunity in a product or service and making an educated guess about the best solution. The hypothesis outlines the expected outcome of the change that your testing, serving as a big picture goal for the A/B test. For example, if a webpage has a high bounce rate, the hypothesis might be that changing the page design will lower that rate. After the test, the hypothesis proves to be either true or false, making it a crucial concept in the A/B testing process.
