Question

Go to the news. Name a company who has made a claim.

What would be the null and alternate hypothesis and how would you go about seeing if that claim is true.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd (AEBi), an Israeli company has recently made a claim that they would have a cure for cancer within the year.

The null hypothesis would be:-

People who have taken the cure developed by AEBi have shown no remission signs for cancer. For example:- if they have blood cancer, than their blood count cells are the same abnormal counts before and after the treatment.

The alternative hypothesis would be:-

People who have taken the cure developed by AEBi have shown remission signs for cancer. For example:- if they have blood cancer, than their blood count cells are the different from the abnormal counts before and within normal range after the treatment.

To see if the claim is true, we would collect the data pertaining to patients before they begin their treatment and after they have completed their treatment and see if they have been cured of that particular cancer or not based on the medical reports.
