What is the difference between the null hypothesis and the research hypothesis?
The null hypothesis: - States that results are due to chance, and not due a significant effect of the theory/idea the research is testing. The research hypothesis: - States that the results are not due to chance, and are due to a significant effect of the theory/idea the research is testing. If the result from the research is significant, the research hypothesis is accepted and the null hypothesis is rejected.
