Why is it important to identify the parameter when converting a problem statement from verbal to numerical?
------
Different statistics and different methods are used to test
for a population mean versus a population proportion or a
population standard deviation.

-----------------------
Why do a null and alternative hypothesis have to be mutually exclusive?
If they overlap and you reject the null, you would also be rejecting
the alternate hypothesis.
