There are three types of scientific statements: there are Hypothesis‚ Law and Theory. A hypothesis will give a plausible explanation that will be tested. It can also explain future phenomenon that will need to be tested. Once a hypothesis has been widely accepted‚ it is called

Retention measurement techniques: Kim et al [209] ‚used universal testing machine to compared the changes in retentive force of three commercially available attachment systems (Kerator blue‚ O-ring red‚ and EZ lock). The crosshead speed for the simulation was set at 60 mm/min. The lower mounting was seated on the fixed part of this machine‚ while the upper mounting was attached to the operation part. The specimen was placed in a position such that the force could be applied in a perpendicular

Hypothesis Testing The sole purpose of hypothesis testing is to determine whether or not research that has been collected is proved or disproved; usually allowing up to a 5% error factor. By using this 5% margin of error a researcher can consider the question of research being conducted is proven. There are five steps to be followed in doing hypotheses testing. The steps are: developing the research question‚ specifying between null and alternative hypotheses‚ calculating the statistic‚ computing

several different statistical methods that can be used to aid in business decision making (CTU‚ 2012). Hypothesis testing and multivariate statistics are just two examples of the statistical methods that can be used. My goal today is to present information in such a way as to assist my senior manager in better understanding hypothesis testing‚ along with the ideas of null and alternative hypotheses. The formal method used by researchers to accept or reject a statistical hypothesis is known as hypothesis
