How do scientists decide whether or not to reject or accept a hypothesis?
if the hypothesis is proven to be correct or incorrect
What does it mean if a scientist can't reject a hypothesis?
It means that she or he has to accept that the existing hypothesis appears to be true.
How do scientists determine whether to accept or reject their hypothesis?
Scientists determine whether to accept or reject their hypothesis by conducting experiments and collecting data to test its predictions. They analyze the results statistically to assess if the evidence supports the hypothesis or not. If the data consistently contradicts the hypothesis, it is rejected; if it aligns with the predictions, the hypothesis may be accepted or revised accordingly. Peer review and replication of results by other scientists further validate the findings.
How do you accept or reject a hypothesis?
Hypothesis is examined very closely to see what it predicts, and the predictions are then rigorously tested. If the predictions are not supported by the results of experiments, the hypothesis is rejected but if they are confirmed, the hypothesis is supported.
What happens if more than one hypothesis is put forward to explain the same observations?
For a hypothesis to be put forward as a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research.
When do you accept a hypothesis?
You accept an alternative hypothesis when the p-value is greater than the sample a for a confidence level of 95%. The null hypothesis cannot be accepted.
What does the researcher hope to do with null hypothesis the opposite of the research hypothesis?
Be able to reject the null hypothesis and accept the research hypothesis
What does the researcher hope to do with the null hypothesis (the opposite of the research hypothesis)?
Be able to reject the null hypothesis and accept the research hypothesis
What does the researcher hope to do with the null hypothesis (the opposite of the research hypothesis)?
Be able to reject the null hypothesis and accept the research hypothesis
When you accept the Null Hypothesis you are certain that the Null Hypothesis is correct?
No, you are never certain.
How do scientists decide whether or not to reject or accept a hypothesis?
if the hypothesis is proven to be correct or incorrect
What do scientist do after they have tested a hypothesis?
Depending on the results of that test, either accept or reject that hypothesis.
What is test statistic?
This is used in statistic to know whether to accept or reject a null hypothesis or alternative hypothesis
Can you accept and reject the null Hypothesis Why or why not?
Some people say you can either accept the null hypothesis or reject it. However, there are statisticians that insist you can either reject it or fail to reject it, but you can't accept it because then you're saying it's true. If you fail to reject it, you're only claiming that the data wasn't strong enough to convince you to choose the alternative hypothesis over the null hypothesis.
What does it mean if a scientist can't reject a hypothesis?
It means that she or he has to accept that the existing hypothesis appears to be true.
What causes hypothesis to be rejected?
We have two types of hypothesis i.e., Null Hypothesis and Alternative Hypothesis. we take null hypothesis as the same statement given in the problem. Alternative hypothesis is the statement that is complementary to null hypothesis. When our calculated value is less than the tabulated value, we accept null hypothesis otherwise we reject null hypothesis.
Would I accept or reject the null hypothesis if the probability of the obtained statistic is 0.001 and alpha is 0.05?
You should reject the null hypothesis.
