The first step to writing the null hypothesis is to find the (alternate) hypothesis. In a word problem like this, you're looking for what you expect to be the outcome of the experiment. In this case, the hypothesis is "I expect weight loss to take longer than six weeks." This can b...

Null Hypothesis Definition and Examples By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Thenull hypothesisstates there is no relationship between the measured phenomenon (thedependent variable) andthe independent variable, which is the variable an experimenter typically controls or changes. You do not need to b...
Four activities involved in attainment of this goal were discussed: (1) development of statistical logic needed to define the sampling distribution associated with the hypothesis to be supported; (2) examination of the role of Type I and II errors and power; (3) definition of effect size; ...
In 1961, Mary Lyon proposed the inactive-X hypothesis to explain what happens to genes on the Barr body. She hypothesized that (1) the genes found on the condensed X chromosome are genetically inactive, (2) inactivation occurs very early in development during the blastocyst stage, and (3) ...
3a–d). Taken together, these observations support the hypothesis that the cortical representation of load in the adaptive locomotion task is independent of cerebellar input. Effects of load and cerebellar perturbation on spinal motoneuron dynamics Intuitively, it might be expected that a load ...
Our interest lies in testing the null hypothesisH0:xt=I(0)against the alternativeH1:x(i)t=I(ki),ki⩾1forsomei(see Engle and Granger, 1987 for the definition of I(k)). Under the alternative, we allow each element of xt to have different order of integration but require that at ...
A straightforward test of a null hypothesis of non-activity for both compounds would enable to automate the identification of such cases. As stated above, BIGL is not the first method that generalizes the classical Loewe model. The currently existing methods that generalize the classical Loewe ...
Code is also included to produce fourfold plots, which provide a visual test of the null hypothesis of the FET. This provides an effective simultaneous visualization of normalized proportions and significance. These plots are implemented in the “vcd” package for R [56]....
gr−/−line: after intestinal damage by dextran sodium sulphate exposure, there are neither inflammatory nor anti-inflammatory cytokine gene responses, substantiating the hypothesis of a dual-action of the GC-GR complex on the immune system. Hence, the zebrafishgrmutant line appears as a useful...
