Question
"Individuals who are sleep-deprived will differ significantly in their reaction time compared to those individuals who are not sleep-deprived". If this is the alternate hypothesis, which of the below statements would be the correct null hypothesis? A. Greater sleep deprivation leads to a decrease in reaction time. B. B. Individuals who are sleep-deprived will not differ in their reaction time from those individuals who are not sleep-deprived. C. C. Individuals who are not sleep-deprived will differ in their reaction time from those individuals who are sleep-deprived. D. D. Individuals who have more sleep will differ in their reaction time from those individuals who are sleep-deprived.
Solution
The correct null hypothesis would be B. "Individuals who are sleep-deprived will not differ in their reaction time from those individuals who are not sleep-deprived." This is because the null hypothesis is always the statement of no effect or no difference. It is the hypothesis that the research is trying to disprove. In this case, the null hypothesis is that sleep deprivation does not affect reaction time.
