Step 1: Understanding the Null Hypothesis. A Null Hypothesis (\(H_0\)) is a statement that there is no significant difference between two situations, groups, or outcomes. It assumes that any observed difference is due to chance or random variation.
Step 2: Importance in hypothesis testing.
- The null hypothesis is tested against an alternative hypothesis (\(H_1\)), which proposes that there is a significant effect or difference
. - Statistical tests are used to determine whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Step 3: Explanation of incorrect options.
- (A) Hypothesis of association: Refers to relationships between variables, not the absence of difference.
- (C) Hypothesis of differences: Describes a hypothesis that assumes a difference exists, but it is not the same as the null hypothesis.
- (D) Alternative hypothesis: Opposes the null hypothesis by suggesting that a difference does exist.
