Hypothesis testing involves comparing two contrasting propositions (null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis) and drawing inferences about the value of a population parameter based on sample data. The null hypothesis is assumed to be true in the absence of contradictory data, and the alternative hypothesis represents the opposite or complementary proposition. Statistical inference is a broader term that encompasses hypothesis testing as well as other inferential techniques such as confidence intervals and prediction intervals. Double-blind procedure and model theory are not directly related to drawing inferences about population parameters.
