Hypothesis acceptance

The null hypothesis test for this problem is stated as follows are two correlation coefficients rx and r2 statistically the same (i.e., rx = r2)l The alternative hypothesis is then rj r2. If the absolute value of the test statistic Z(n) is greater than the absolute value of the z-statistic, then the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis accepted - there is a significant difference between rx and r2. If the absolute value of Z(n) is less than the z-statistic, then the null hypothesis is accepted and the alternative hypothesis is rejected, thus there is not a significant difference between rx and r2. Let us look at a standard example again (equation 60-22). 

The calculated value of analysis of variance is F=1343.6 for the null hypothesis HqiP O. However, since the tabular value is F1 g 0 95=5.32 the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis accepted that the regression coefficient p, with 95% confidence level is statistically significant. 

A statistical hypothesis denotes a statement about one or more parameters of a population distribution requiring verification. The null hypothesis, H0, designates the hypothesis being tested. If the tested //, is rejected, the alternative hypothesis, llx, must be accepted. When testing the null hypothesis, acceptance or rejection errors are possible. Rejecting the H0 when it is actually true results in a type I error. Likewise, accepting... 

Step 6 Apply the decision mle (Step 4) to the nidi hypothesis, accepting or rejecting it at the specified a level. ... 

The calculated probability of 0.011 is substantially less than 0.05. and the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis accepted. Hypothesis testing may be applied to any statistical parameter (/-distribution, / -distribution, etc.) for which a sampling distribution may be calculated or otherwise evaluated. 

It is clear that since the number of animals differs from one experimental group to another in Dr. Finkel s experiments, the null-hypothesis acceptance r on cannot have width independent of injected dose a, as shown in her figures. From the information given there is no way to tell to which experimental groups the test... 

The term uncommitted cell is ambiguous. For opponents of the precommitment hypothesis it may mean a pluripotential or totipotential cell which may gain its antibody-synthesizing capacity as a consequence of contact with antigen. Proponents of the precommitment hypothesis accept that immature uncommitted cells do exist, but they postulate that uncommitted cells cannot be triggered by antigen. 

The hypothesis accepted by the author, namely that the interfacial interaction betveen many liquids and solids can be described by dispersion forces alone," even if these substances have permanent dipoles etc, cannot be correct. It is equivalent to saying that an electron in a symmetric molecule is free to refuse being affected by a part of the field emanating from an asymmetrical molecule This assumption is contradicted by all we know about electric fields Consequently, whenever we see Y with superscript d, it is very likely that the theory is not valid. 

It is very important, from one hand, to accept a hypothesis about the material fracture properties before physical model building because general view of TF is going to change depending on mechanical model (brittle, elasto-plastic, visco-elasto-plastic, ete.) of the material. From the other hand, it is necessary to keep in mind that the material response to loads or actions is different depending on the accepted mechanical model because rheological properties of the material determine type of response in time. The most remarkable difference can be observed between brittle materials and materials with explicit plastic properties. 

If in the section defects are absent, the projections is distributed accidentally on pixels and the values of functions p(ij) aproximately are alike in all pixels of the section. In defective areas the projections are focused and, as far as defect appearance is unlikely on accepted hypothesis... 

Any linearly independent set of simultaneous homogeneous equations we can construct has only the zero vector as its solution set. This is not acceptable, for it means that the wave function vanishes, which is contrai y to hypothesis (the electron has to be somewhere). We are driven to the conclusion that the normal equations (6-38) must be linearly dependent. 

A statement that the difference between two values is too great to be explained by indeterminate error accepted if the significance test shows that null hypothesis should be rejected (Ha). 

Relationship between confidence intervals and results of a significance test, (a) The shaded area under the normal distribution curves shows the apparent confidence intervals for the sample based on fexp. The solid bars in (b) and (c) show the actual confidence intervals that can be explained by indeterminate error using the critical value of (a,v). In part (b) the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. In part (c) the null hypothesis is retained. 

The critical value for f(0.05,4), as found in Appendix IB, is 2.78. Since fexp is greater than f(0.05, 4), we must reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. At the 95% confidence level the difference between X and p, is significant and cannot be explained by indeterminate sources of error. There is evidence, therefore, that the results are affected by a determinate source of error. 

Since Fgxp is larger than the critical value of 7.15 for F(0.05, 5, 5), the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis that the variances are significantly different is accepted. As a result, a pooled standard deviation cannot be calculated. 

The value of fexp is then compared with a critical value, f(a, v), which is determined by the chosen significance level, a, the degrees of freedom for the sample, V, and whether the significance test is one-tailed or two-tailed. For paired data, the degrees of freedom is - 1. If fexp is greater than f(a, v), then the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. If fexp is less than or equal to f(a, v), then the null hypothesis is retained, and a significant difference has not been demonstrated at the stated significance level. This is known as the paired f-test. 

Because (fexp)AB is greater than f(0.05, 18), we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis that the results for analyst B are significantly greater than those for analyst A. Working in the same fashion, it is easy to show that... 

If the null hypothesis is assumed to be true, say, in the case of a two-sided test, form 1, then the distribution of the test statistic t is known. Given a random sample, one can predict how far its sample value of t might be expected to deviate from zero (the midvalue of t) by chance alone. If the sample value oft does, in fact, deviate too far from zero, then this is defined to be sufficient evidence to refute the assumption of the null hypothesis. It is consequently rejected, and the converse or alternative hypothesis is accepted. 

Since the sample z < cv(z), accept the null hypothesis for lack of contrary evidence i.e., an improvement has not been demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt. 

Consider the hypothesis Ii = [Lo- If, iri fact, the hypothesis is correct, i.e., Ii = [Lo (under the condition Of = o ), then the sampling distribution of x — x is predictable through the t distribution. The obseiwed sample values then can be compared with the corresponding t distribution. If the sample values are reasonably close (as reflectedthrough the Ot level), that is, X andxg are not Too different from each other on the basis of the t distribution, the null hypothesis would be accepted. Conversely, if they deviate from each other too much and the deviation is therefore not ascribable to chance, the conjecture would be questioned and the null hypothesis rejected. 

The decision rule for each of the three forms would be to reject the null hypothesis if the sample value oft fell in that area of the t distribution defined by Ot, which is called the critical region. Other wise, the alternative hypothesis would be accepted for lack of contrary evidence. 

In the last decade, the refrigerant issue is extensively discussed due to the accepted hypothesis that the chlorine and bromine atoms from halocarbons released to the environment were using up ozone in the stratosphere, depleting it specially above the polar regions. Montreal Protocol and later agreements ban use of certain CFCs and halon compounds. It seems that all CFCs and most of the HCFCs will be out of produc tion by the time this text will be pubhshed. 

It is not certain whether Sir Humphrey Davy (Fig. 1-7) knew of these considerations. He accepted a commission from the Admiralty for the protection of copper-clad wooden ships, which had been introduced in 1761. During his numerous laboratory experiments, he discovered the cathodic protection of copper by zinc or iron [3]. Davy had already put forward the hypothesis in 1812 that chemical and electrical changes are identical or at least arise from the same material property. He believed that chemical reaction forces could be reduced or increased by altering the electric state of the material. Materials can combine only if they have different electric charges. If an originally positive material can be artificially negatively... 

The essential feature of the AAA is a comparison of active and inactive molecules. A commonly accepted hypothesis to explain the lack of activity of inactive molecules that possess the pharmacophoric conformation is that their molecular volume, when presenting the pharmacophore, exceeds the receptor excluded volume. This additional volume apparently is filled by the receptor and is unavailable for ligand binding this volume is termed the receptor essential volume [3]. Following this approach, the density maps for each of the inactive compounds (in their pharm conformations superimposed with that of active compounds) were constructed the difference between the combined inactive compound density maps and the receptor excluded volume represents the receptor essential volume. These receptor-mapping techniques supplied detailed topographical data that allowed a steric model of the D[ receptor site to be proposed.
