Consequently‚ these absurd experimentation are unable to generate and predict accurate result that may occur in human beings. For instance‚ cancer has an abysmal record of failures where both humans and animals react

What is Hypothesis Testing? A statistical hypothesis is an assumption about a population parameter. This assumption may or may not be true. Hypothesis testing refers to the formal procedures used by statisticians to accept or reject statistical hypotheses. Statistical Hypotheses Null hypothesis. The null hypothesis‚ denoted by H0‚ is usually the hypothesis that sample observations result purely from chance. Alternative hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis‚ denoted by H1 or Ha‚ is the hypothesis
