When do you use two independent comparison groups?
When performing tests of hypothesis for the risk difference, relative risk or odds ratio, the convention is to label the exposed or treated group 1 and the unexposed or control group 2. For example, suppose a study is designed to assess whether there is a significant difference in proportions in two independent comparison groups.
What are the hypotheses for the 2 sample t-test?
The hypotheses for our 2-sample t-test are: Null hypothesis: The mean strengths for the two populations are equal. Alternative hypothesis: The mean strengths for the two populations are different. A p-value less than the significance level indicates that you can reject the null hypothesis.
How are null and alternative hypotheses stated together?
The null and alternative hypotheses are stated together. T H 0 he following are typical hypothesis for means, where kis a specified number. CH8: Hypothesis Testing Santorico – Page 273
When do you use alternative hypothesis in research?
When a researcher conducts a study, he or she is generally looking for evidence to support a claim of some type of difference. In this case, the claim should be stated as the alternative hypothesis. Because of this, the alternative hypothesis is sometimes called the research hypothesis. CH8: Hypothesis Testing Santorico – Page 276
