The null hypothesis states that any effects observed after treatment (or associated with a predictor variable) are due to chance alone. Statistically, the question that is being answered is If these samples came from the same population with regard to the outcome, how likely is the obtained result?
Alternative Hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis used in hypothesis testing that is contrary to the null hypothesis. It is usually taken to be that the observations are the result of a real effect (with some amount of chance variation superposed). SEE ALSO: Hypothesis, Hypothesis Testing, Null Hypothesis.
