What does the null hypothesis predict?
What does the null hypothesis predict?
- Variability within the data set
- No effect or no relationship between variables (correct)
- A definitive outcome based on research predictions
- An effect or relationship between variables
Which statement best describes the alternative hypothesis?
Which statement best describes the alternative hypothesis?
- It always assumes there is no effect.
- It states a research prediction of an effect or relationship. (correct)
- It is generally not tested in research studies.
- It includes all possible outcomes without predictions.
If the alternative hypothesis is true, what does that imply about the null hypothesis?
If the alternative hypothesis is true, what does that imply about the null hypothesis?
- It is unrelated to the research findings.
- It should be rejected based on the evidence. (correct)
- It is likely true as well.
- It has been definitively proven false.

Study Notes
Hypothesis Testing
- The null hypothesis (H0) predicts that there is no effect or no relationship between variables.
- The alternative hypothesis (H1 or Ha) represents the researcher's prediction, suggesting there is an effect or a relationship.
- Hypothesis testing is fundamental in statistical analysis to assess claims about populations based on sample data.
- The rejection of the null hypothesis implies that there is sufficient evidence to support the alternative hypothesis.
- In hypothesis testing, significance levels (e.g., alpha = 0.05) determine the threshold for rejecting the null hypothesis.
