State and explain the types of Hypotheses

Answers

(i) Null Hypotheses/ Statistical
• This states that NO real relationship or difference exists between the independent and the dependent variables. Any relationship between the two variables is merely due to chance or error. A researcher tests null hypothesis. Null hypothesis is denoted as Ho. Mathematically, it is represented as: H0: µ1=µ2
? There is no relationship between funding and sustainability of government funding

(ii) Alternative Hypotheses/ Experimental (H1)
? This is the opposite of null hypotheses; they tell us that a relationship exists between the independent and the dependent variables. It is a prediction that an experimental manipulation will have some effect or that certain variables will relate to each other. They are also called the research hypotheses because they are the ones the researcher tests.
