Question
1.In the background section the authors wrote “We hypothesized that early postnatal growth restriction would result in poorer neurodevelopment and lead to improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity” Is the hypothesis in the quote a null hypothesis or an alternate hypothesis? (1 point) **

3.In the background section the authors wrote “We further hypothesized that in EUGR rats, early catch-up growth would lead to improved neurodevelopment but reduced insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance compared to EUGR rats that did not have early catch-up growth.” Is the hypothesis in the quote a null hypothesis or an alternate hypothesis?

Explanation / Answer
1. It is an alternative hypothesis.
2. Here there is a relationship between early post natal growth restriction and neurodevelopment and glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Since the variables are statistically related, it is alternative hypothesis.
3. It is alternative hypothesis
4. Here early catch up growth is related to neurodevelopment, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Since all the variables are related, it is alternative hypothesis.
