Question

Complete the sentence: if we reject the null hypothesis, we conclude that _____.
a. there is not enough statistical evidence to infer that the alternative hypothesis is true
b. there is enough statistical evidence to infer that the alternative hypothesis is true
c. there is enough statistical evidence to infer that the null hypothesis is true
d. the test is statistically insignificant at the indicated level of significance

Answer 1

The correct answer for the completion exercise shown above is the Option c, which is:

 c. Therefore, the complete text is shown below: "There is enough statistical evidence to infer that the null hypothesis is true.

 Therefore, the complete text is: "if we reject the null hypothesis, we conclude that there is enough statistical evidence to infer that the null hypothesis is true"

 By definition, the null hypothesis states that does not exist relationship between two measurements or observations.

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

- On the basis of Hypothesis test based on a statistical data obtained. We use a criteria called ( significance level ) that specifies the "rejection region" on a bell curve.

- Any statistical quantity under study falls in that "rejection region" - we reject our Null Hypothesis i.e a claim made on any quantity is rejected.

- When the Null hypothesis is rejected we alternatively say that the alternative hypothesis is true.

- So the completion of the "Fill in the blank" would be:

   " if we reject the null hypothesis, we conclude that there is enough statistical evidence to infer that the alternative hypothesis is true "
