Which of the following decisions of the researcher will be deemed appropriate? Correct Answer Rejecting the (H<span style="position: relative; font-size: 10.5px; line-height: 0; vertical-align: baseline; bottom: -0.25em;">0</span>) and accepting the substantive research hypothesis

The null hypothesis is the standard method for supporting the substantive research hypothesis. Like any hypothesis, a substantive hypothesis is about the relation between two or more variables. It is called “substantive” because it has not yet been operationalized. An operational hypothesis phrased to show the manipulating and measuring the variables.

  • H0 (null hypothesis): A tentative assumption is made about the parameter. This assumption is called the null hypothesis and is denoted by H0 (null hypothesis).
  • H1 (alternate hypothesis): An alternative hypothesis (denoted by H1), which is the opposite of what is stated in the null hypothesis.

The hypothesis-testing procedure involves using sample data to determine whether or not H0 can be rejected. If H0 is rejected, the statistical conclusion is that the alternative hypothesis H1 is true. If the null hypothesis is rejected, that is taken as evidence in favor of the research hypothesis which is called the alternative hypothesis (denoted by H1).

At the stage of data analysis in which quantitative techniques have been used by a researcher, the evidence warrants the rejection of the Null Hypothesis (H0). Here, the decision of the researcher which is deemed to be appropriate will be Rejecting the (H0) and accepting the substantive research hypothesis 

  1. The above statement is true in the context of the testing of a hypothesis as It is only the null hypothesis, that can be tested.
  2. To test the null hypothesis, a researcher uses ANOVA method of research
  3. At the data-analysis stage, a null hypothesis is used to find out the maintainability of the research hypothesis.
