Read the scenario about hypothesis testing and answer the questions below.
Scenario: George wants to study what animals make better pets. Based on the research available George thinks that Birds will be greater than Lizards as pets. (use symbols i.e. >,<, =, ≠, ≥, ≤ or write it out in words)
Question 1: What is the alternative hypothesis?
Question 2: What is the Null hypothesis?
Question 5: If the data show that birds make worse pets, what decision did George find regarding the Null Hypothesis? (reject/fail to reject)
Question 1:- Alternative hypothesis: Birds will be greater than Lizards as pets i.e. Ha: Birds Lizards ( as pets )
Question 2:- Null hypothesis: Birds will be less or equal to Lizards as pets i.e. H0: Birds Lizards ( as pets )
Question 5:- Now if the data shows that birds make worse then the decision dis George find null hypothesis is " accept the null hypothesis "
