00:01 Hey sue, we have some questions about hypothesis testing here.

00:04 The number one, the null hypothesis is the no -effect hypothesis, the research hypothesis, the relationship researchers are interested in, or h -1.

00:17 So the correct answer here is a, the no effect.

00:21 In the null hypothesis, you assume there is no relationship between your variables.

00:30 So, for example, if you're running a drug trial, and you want to know if a drug affects blood pressure, your null hypothesis is, it doesn't affect blood pressure.

00:39 Your alternative hypothesis would be, it does.

00:42 And the null hypothesis is h0, not h1.

00:49 Which brings us on to part two.

00:51 The alternative hypothesis, a, something to nullify, states the relationship they're interested in, the starting point for empirical research, or the no effect.

01:02 So we've covered it's not the no effect.

01:04 This h1 is what they're trying to look at and it's b.

01:13 Perhaps you think maybe your drug does affect blood pressure.

01:17 Your alternative hypothesis would be it changes blood pressure.

01:22 The null hypothesis would be it doesn't.

01:24 So a is referring to h0, what you're hoping to disprove.

01:30 And the whole point of this is you start with the null hypothesis and then you disprove it.

01:36 Rather like, question three, in the us legal system, the presumption of innocence is analogous to scientific method, the alternative hypothesis, the null hypothesis or the research hypothesis.

01:53 So in the us, and most places really, you start by assuming the person is innocent and it must be proven that they are not.

02:03 You don't start by assuming they're guilty...
