NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS

Front

What is the null hypothesis (H0)?

Back

The null hypothesis (H0) is a statement that there is no effect or no difference, and it serves as a default or starting assumption in hypothesis testing.

Front

What is the alternative hypothesis (H1)?

Back

The alternative hypothesis (H1) is a statement that indicates the presence of an effect or a difference, opposing the null hypothesis.

Front

What does H0: μ = k represent?

Back

H0: μ = k represents a null hypothesis stating that the population mean (μ) is equal to a specific value (k).

Front

What does H1: μ > k indicate?

Back

H1: μ > k indicates an alternative hypothesis suggesting that the population mean (μ) is greater than a specific value (k).

How do you formulate a null hypothesis for a claim?

Back

To formulate a null hypothesis for a claim, identify the claim and express it as an equation or statement of equality.

What is the null hypothesis for a claim that the mean daily attendance is at least 300?

Back

H0: μ = 300
