Suppose the value of P=0.03.
Suppose we assume los is 5%.
Then we will accept null hypothesis.
If suppose we assume los is 1%,then we reject it.
So based on what factors do we assume los and what los do industries follow?

No, we don't. We can only accept the null hypothesis if the power is high enough. And the power is not so easy to know in most cases. The only thing we can conclusively do in hypothesis tests is to reject the null hypothesis, not to accept it.

So based on what factors do we assume los and what los do industries follow?

It's usually 0.05 or 0.01. It's usually more informative to give a confidence interval and p-value anyway, than just saying we accept/reject.
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
