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).

Front

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.

Front

What is the significance of the symbol H0?

Back

The symbol H0 denotes the null hypothesis in statistical hypothesis testing.

Front

What is the significance of the symbol H1?

Back

The symbol H1 denotes the alternative hypothesis in statistical hypothesis testing.

Front

How do you determine the null and alternative hypothesis from a claim?

Back

To determine the null and alternative hypothesis, translate the claim into mathematical statements, where the null hypothesis typically includes equality and the alternative includes inequality.

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

Back

H0: μ = 300

Front

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

Back

H1: μ > 300
