Question

A new drug is created to help people with depression. When testing the drug, what are the null and alternative hypotheses?

a) H0: As a result of 300mg./day of the ABC drug, there will be no significant difference in depression

HA: As a result of 300mg./day of the ABC drug, there will be a significant difference in depression

b) H0: As a result of 300mg./day of the ABC drug, there will be a significant difference in depression

HA: As a result of 300mg./day of the ABC drug, there will be no significant difference in depression

Explanation / Answer

Our claim comes in the alternative hypothesis. Here the claim is the significance of the drug. Thus the null hypothesis, H0: As a result of 300mg./day of the ABC drug, there will be no significant difference in depression.

Thus the alternative hypothesis, HA: As a result of 300mg./day of the ABC drug, there will be a significant difference in depression.

Hence Option(a) is the correct choice. (Ans).
