 INTRODUCTION

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for an observable

HYPOTHESIS. In its most

 TESTING OF HYPOTHESIS

The following table shows the meaning of Alternate

hypothesis in different situations.

Alternate Hypothesis Meaning

Ha: µ•µH₀ Population mean is not equal

to 100; it could be more or less
than 100

Ha:µ≥µH₀ Population mean is greater

than 100.
Ha: µ≤µH₀ Population mean is less than
100.

It is an tentative statement or solution to the

problem.

It can be either accepted or rejected after the

research process.

It acts as chain or interface between research
