Elements of a Test of Hypothesis 1. Null Hypothesis (H0 ) - A statement about the values of population parameters which we accept until proven false. 2. Alternative or Research Hypothesis (Ha )- A statement that contradicts the null hypothesis. It represents researcher’s claim about the population parameters. This will be accepted only when data provides sufficient evidence to establish its truth. 3. Test Statistic - A sample statistic (often a formula) that is used to decide whether to reject H0

The Efficient Markets Hypothesis The theory of Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH) asserts that (1) stocks are always in equilibrium and (2) it is impossible for an investor to “beat the market” and consistently earn a higher rate of return than is justified by the stock’s risk. Those who believe in the EMH note that there are 100‚000 or so fulltime‚ highly trained‚ professional analysts and traders operating in the market‚ while there are fewer than 3‚000 major stocks.
