问题如下:
Which of the following statements regarding the null hypothesis is correct?
选项:
A.
It can be stated as “not equal to” provided the alternative hypothesis is
stated as “equal to.”
B.
Along with the alternative hypothesis, it considers all possible values of the
population parameter.
C.
In a two-tailed test, it is rejected when evidence supports equality between
the hypothesized value and the population parameter.
解释:
B is correct. The null and alternative hypotheses are complements of one another
and must be both mutually and collectively exhaustive. Differently put: all possible
values or outcomes need to be contained in either the null or the alternative
hypothesis.
A is incorrect because the null hypothesis must always include the equality
sign (less than or equal to, equal to, or greater than or equal to). C is incorrect
because, in a two-tailed test, the null hypothesis is generally set up as equality between
the hypothesized value and the population parameter. If evidence supports
equality, then the null hypothesis would not be rejected.
