Hypothesis testing begins with the assumption that randomization is used to collect quantitative data about the sample and that the distribution of this data has a normal shape. Significance tests state two explanations‚ or hypotheses‚ about a parameter. One‚ called the null hypothesis‚ states that the parameter equals some value (usually 0). The other‚ called the alternative hypothesis‚ states that the parameter is greater than‚ less than or (not) equal to the value stated in the null hypothesis

DIRECTIONAL RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS Let’s consider a different situation—one involving a different alternative or research hypothesis. In this instance‚ let’s assume that we expect to discover that rural residents have higher religious participation scores than urban residents. Since we’re now hypothesizing (in the form of the research or alternative hypothesis) that the rural residents will have higher religious participation scores than the urban residents‚ we are specifying the direction of the

teaspoon of ammonium chloride‚ calcium chloride‚ and sodium chloride are added to separate glasses of water‚ then ammonium chloride will keep the water cold the longest because it is most commonly used in brand name cold packs. In order to test the hypothesis‚ the scientists will label four cups to keep track of what chemical will go in each cup. One will just be plain water‚ while the next will be labeled ammonium chloride‚ calcium chloride‚ etc. Then the scientists will pour fifty mL of water into

The efficient-market hypothesis emphasizes that arbitrage will rapidly eliminate any profit opportunities and drive market prices back to fair value. Behavioral-finance specialists may concede that there are no easy profits‚ but argue that arbitrage is costly and sometimes slow-working‚ so that deviations from fair value may persist. Sorting out the puzzles will take time‚ but we suggest that financial managers should assume‚ at least as a starting point‚ that there are no free lunches to be

Lenneberg formed the Critical Period Hypothesis theory which contends that language is innate but has to be attained before the age of puberty or else the ability to learn language ebbs (as a result of the lateralization of the brain). 1 At present‚ the Critical Period Hypothesis theory is widely accepted by numerous linguists. Evidence has been presented that there is a limited time when the brain is malleable (in terms of language). Studies such as‚ linguistically isolated children (a.k.a. feral
