Research Hypotheses

Hypothesis means the statement about unknown population parameter. But the hypothesis is tested through sample statistic. There are two types of hypotheses.
(i) Null hypothesis- it is denoted by H0 and
(ii) Alternative hypothesis- it is denoted by H1

For ex., Research Hypotheses may be in the following manner

" This study investigated the influence of Blackboard as an LMS, on teaching, learning, and interaction perspectives of instructors and students involved. The following hypotheses were developed for this study based on the literature review".
