Discussion: Hypothesis Testing
One major function of inferential statistics is the testing of the hypotheses. When researchers "test a hypothesis" they are testing the null hypothesis and the assumption that there is no difference in performance between the conditions being studied. Develop two proposed research questions and the alternative and null hypotheses associated with them. Discuss what Type 1 and Type 2 errors are and why they might occur, and provide examples of both errors for each of your null hypotheses.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
