statistics literature‚ statistical hypothesis testing plays a fundamental role.[4] The usual line of reasoning is as follows: There is an initial research hypothesis of which the truth is unknown. The first step is to state the relevant null and alternative hypotheses. This is important as mis-stating the hypotheses will muddy the rest of the process.

As the price of oil increases‚ so does the price of all other products that are transported. There is‚ however‚ an opportunity for the United States to increase the supply of available crude oil by drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The idea of drilling in the Arctic has
