Introduction to Hypothesis Testing - SAGE Publications Inc
www.sagepub.comAn alternative hypothesis (H 1) is a statement that directly contradicts a null hypothesis by stating that that the actual value of a population parameter is less than, greater than, or not equal to the value stated in the null hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis states what we think is wrong about the null hypothesis, which is needed for ...
Null hypothesis vs. alternative hypothesis
courses.cit.cornell.eduEcon 620 Null hypothesis vs. alternative hypothesis Suppose that we have data y =(y1,···,yn) and the data is generated by the true probability distribution Pθ0, from a family of probability distribution Pθ indexed by θ ∈ Θ. We can partition the parameter space Θ into two subsets, Θ0 and ΘA. Now, consider the following two hypothesis;
DEVELOPING HYPOTHESIS AND RESEARCH QUESTIONS
www.public.asu.eduThe null hypothesis represents a theory that has been put forward, either because it is believed to be true or because it is to be used as a basis for argument, but has not been proved. Has serious outcome if incorrect decision is made! The alternative hypothesisis a statement of what a hypothesis test is set up to establish.

Statistical Hypothesis Testing
www.afit.eduThe alternative hypothesis is the claim to be tested; it reflects what the tester is trying to show. To illustrate the concept of null and alternative hypotheses, consider a criminal trial. In the criminal justice system, the defendant is presumed innocent until …

Example: Ha: p ≠30% or Ha: Percentage of votes for A is not 30%. HT - 8 Hypotheses Statements Example
Hypothesis Testing - Duke University
www2.stat.duke.edu23.1 How Hypothesis Tests Are Reported in the News 1. Determine the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. 2. Collect and summarize the data into a test statistic. 3. Use the test statistic to determine the p-value. 4. The result is statistically significant if the p-value is less than or equal to the level of significance.

sites.pitt.eduAn Alternative Decision Rule using the p - value Definition The p-value is defined as the smallest value of α for which the null hypothesis can be rejected. If the p-value is less than or equal to α ,we reject the null hypothesis (p ≤ α) If the p-value is greater than α ,we do not reject the null hypothesis (p > α)
