1 The total project cost for a Trex deck ranges between $1,500 and $2,200 for a 250sf deck. 2  Trex Select of basic quality averages approximately $7/sf.  Trex Enhance of higher quality is approximately $8/sf.
When the hypothesized value is zero then there is a simple relationship between hypothesis testing and confidence intervals: If the interval contains zero then the null hypothesis cannot be rejected at the stated level of confidence. If the interval does not contain zero then the null hypothesis can be rejected.
A test of a statistical hypothesis, where the region of rejection is on only one side of the sampling distribution, is called a one-tailed test. For example, suppose the null hypothesis states that the mean is less than or equal to 10. The alternative hypothesis would be that the mean is greater than 10.
