Questions and Answers

What does the alternative hypothesis (Ha) state?

  • There is no significant relationship between variables
  • There is a known population standard deviation
  • There is a significant relationship between variables (correct)
  • There is no impact of the independent variable on the dependent variable

In hypothesis testing, what does the null hypothesis (Ho) typically suggest?

  • The sample data confirms the alternative hypothesis
  • The independent variable has no effect on the dependent variable
  • The alpha level is set at 0.1%
  • There is no significant relationship between academic integrity and technology engagement (correct)

What is the purpose of setting an alpha level in a hypothesis test?

  • To confirm the null hypothesis
  • To identify the sample size needed
  • To define the level of significance for the hypothesis test (correct)
  • To specify the direction of the effect
