- 0:14hello learners i am dr sabot kesherwani
- 0:16working with indar gandhi national open
- 0:18university in school of management
- 0:20as associate professor capacity the
- 0:22topic which i am going to talk today is
- 0:23you know quite
- 0:25quite important because it's it's purely
- 0:27you know based on the assumptions
- 0:28and when you are assuming anything when
- 0:30you are you know creating a hypothetical
- 0:32format
- 0:33and then you run on this particular
- 0:35format i think
- 0:36that is a very challenging task so
- 0:38hypothesis is a very important
- 0:40ingredient as far as research is
- 0:41concerned
- 0:42as far as you know the day-to-day life
- 0:44is concerned but anyway we are just you
- 0:46know concentrating ourselves to
- 0:47to this particular format called
- 0:49research and
- 0:50we have we observed that you know in
- 0:52research hypothesis is a very important
- 0:55thing because
- 0:56as i have talked about it based on the
- 0:58assumptions it talks about you know the
- 0:59hypothetical things
- 1:00and you know on the basis of the
- 1:02assumption you proceed and further what
- 1:04happened
- 1:04you know the things are going to be
- 1:06changed so anyway
- 1:08prior to going into the depth of this
- 1:09particular topic i just want to throw a
- 1:11light
- 1:12that this is part of our course called
- 1:14mcu3 research methodology and
- 1:16statistical analysis
- 1:17we are in the first block which talks
- 1:19about research and data collection
- 1:21the second blocks talks about processing
- 1:23and preservation of data then you have
- 1:25block three relational and trend
- 1:26analysis
- 1:27and the fourth block talks about
- 1:28probability in hypothesis testing
- 1:30i think and finally you know the
- 1:32interpretation report writing is there
- 1:33but anyway
- 1:34so we are just you know building a
- 1:37concept of hypothesis in this particular
- 1:39presentation and when we are you know
- 1:41moved to the block four
- 1:43after having you know 20 30 rounds of
- 1:45discussions then we will definitely
- 1:46throw a light on
- 1:47how we are going to test the hypothesis
- 1:49what are the certain parameters what are
- 1:51the certain tests
- 1:52which are going to be quite important
- 1:54because when you are
- 1:55presuming anything you have certain you
- 1:57know options behind it
- 1:59so in hypothesis you know what we
- 2:01observe that
- 2:02there are null hypotheses they are
- 2:03alternate hypothesis so
- 2:05we are going to throw a light on all
- 2:06those aspects and
- 2:08we start with you know the assumptions
- 2:10then you know that assumption fails and
- 2:11then alternate
- 2:12hypothesis comes into picture so how
- 2:15this process comes
- 2:16what is the modus operandi behind it we
- 2:18will definitely talk about all those
- 2:19aspects
- 2:21just you know recapitulate what we have
- 2:22done in our preceding lectures
- 2:24we start with the research preamble part
- 2:26of research where the
- 2:27the basic concept had been talked about
- 2:30you know how the research is going to be
- 2:31initiated then
- 2:32research thoughts are there then there
- 2:34are certain
- 2:35faqs frequently asked questions which
- 2:37are which are you know quite
- 2:39omnipresent in nature and comes in the
- 2:40mind of researchers when they are you
- 2:42know just entering into the world of
- 2:43research
- 2:44so what we observe that that
- 2:47you know these are the things which we
- 2:49have already covered and we have built
- 2:50the concept now and
- 2:51gradually you know we are just you know
- 2:53throwing a light on certain
- 2:54terminologies
- 2:55and once we accomplish all those
- 2:57terminologies then we start you know
- 2:58execute it so we start with building the
- 3:00concept then
- 3:02you know uh evaluate the process and
- 3:04then finally you know start implementing
- 3:06and then executing the process so
- 3:08this whole course you know talks about
- 3:09you know the complete uh
- 3:11regner kind of which which starts with
- 3:14research methodology
- 3:15methodology and statistical analysis are
- 3:17used in between so anyway research plan
- 3:19and research problem we have already
- 3:20talked about
- 3:21how we're going to plan your research
- 3:22and what are the problems which which
- 3:23comes in between and work as a stumbling
- 3:25blocks
- 3:26and how you're going to come out because
- 3:27if your planning is good if you have a
- 3:28long term vision
- 3:29very easily you can narrow down that
- 3:31that stumbling blocks that problem and
- 3:33finally you know you reach to the
- 3:34conclusion so
- 3:35this is all about you know and once you
- 3:37have got a knack of
- 3:38of research methodology or the research
- 3:40very easily you can use it
- 3:42you know once you go for the further
- 3:43research when you go for the doctoral
- 3:44programs or
- 3:46or you know or the future studies and
- 3:49finally you know the formulation of
- 3:50objective was there we have seen that
- 3:51objective is very important in gradient
- 3:53in our preceding lectures we have thrown
- 3:56a very
- 3:56you know uh very delicately about this
- 3:59this terminologies
- 4:00about the objectives and we see that how
- 4:03the gaps
- 4:04are converted into objectives and how
- 4:05objectives are you know helps in
- 4:07building the hypothesis so
- 4:08today discussion talks about you know
- 4:10how we are going to talk about the
- 4:12hypothesis and how these objectives are
- 4:14converted into hypotheses
- 4:15and and then these hypotheses are you
- 4:18know used in
- 4:18as a null hypothesis and alternate
- 4:20hypothesis so based on the you know the
- 4:22respondents
- 4:23how their respondents are going to
- 4:25reciprocate and this is the model which
- 4:27is there so anyway
- 4:28i think we start with uh with a theory
- 4:31of hypothesis
- 4:32and there is a there is a big difference
- 4:34between hypothesis and theory
- 4:36and if we if we see that the hypothesis
- 4:39talks about the scientific reasoning
- 4:41is an assumption made before any
- 4:42research has been completed for the sake
- 4:44of testing so i think
- 4:46we assume you know assumptions may be
- 4:48sometimes right sometimes wrong but
- 4:50what we observe that it all depends how
- 4:52you are presuming the things how you are
- 4:54assuming the things
- 4:55whereas you know when you talk about the
- 4:57theory a theory on the other hand is a
- 4:59principle set to explain phenomena
- 5:01already supported by a data
- 5:02so i think theory is more concrete in
- 5:04nature and when you talk when you
- 5:05compare with hypotheses
- 5:07hypothesis is based on assumptions
- 5:08whereas theory is based on
- 5:10you know the the data which which is you
- 5:12know more genuine in nature
- 5:14so so that they are building blocks
- 5:16which starts with hypothesis then
- 5:18develop a format then develop a theory
- 5:20so if you there's a difference between
- 5:21hypothesis and theory and hypothesis is
- 5:23the
- 5:24proposed explanation for some phenomena
- 5:26based on limited evidence whereas theory
- 5:28is an idea
- 5:29or set of ideas that is intended to
- 5:31explain facts or events
- 5:33so it's not scientifically tested or
- 5:36proven scientifically tested and proven
- 5:38if you talk about the theory
- 5:40and hypothesis is not because it's on
- 5:42the process of you know
- 5:44testing so sometimes you know the
- 5:45whatever the phenomena whatever the you
- 5:47know
- 5:48the uh this hypothesis you have taken
- 5:52maybe it it become accepted it be it's
- 5:55rejected so
- 5:56we will talk about all those things
- 5:57about the acceptance and and
- 5:59rejections in a very gradual manner you
- 6:01know we will take certain examples there
- 6:03are some real life scenarios there are
- 6:05certain examples
- 6:06which can definitely defend you know how
- 6:08this hypothesis is going to be
- 6:10change and what are the types of
- 6:11hypothesis that is more important
- 6:13because
- 6:13this is a presentation which talks about
- 6:16how you're going to build that concept
- 6:17of hypothesis
- 6:18once you once you are acclimatized
- 6:20yourself once you are equined with the
- 6:21with the hypothesis phenomena i think
- 6:23that is where you can very easily you
- 6:25know
- 6:25initiate your research because the
- 6:27backbone of any research is the
- 6:28hypothesis
- 6:29and the choosing the good objective we
- 6:31have already talked about that if your
- 6:33gap is explored and then you have chosen
- 6:35an objective
- 6:37which could be not more but could be in
- 6:39your fingertips
- 6:40and from there if you have framed the
- 6:42hypothesis and if that
- 6:43hypothesis are well versed and you know
- 6:46then you have
- 6:47taken alternative hypothesis then you
- 6:49have
- 6:50accepted or rejection model is there so
- 6:52we will definitely talk about all those
- 6:53things and based on limited data that is
- 6:55very true because
- 6:56when you talk about the hypothesis you
- 6:57have got certain constraints certain
- 6:59limitations is there
- 7:00and based on wide range of data i think
- 7:02theory is always believed in
- 7:04you know having a wide range of data and
- 7:06can lead to a theory can be formulated
- 7:08through a hypothesis that is very true
- 7:10because
- 7:11if you talk about hypotheses there are
- 7:13certain you know the secondary data
- 7:14which are there they are certain you
- 7:16know
- 7:16the literature which is there and when
- 7:18you go through that particular
- 7:19literature
- 7:20from there you find out certain gaps so
- 7:22while you know
- 7:24talking about the hypothesis you have to
- 7:26have certain theory in your mind
- 7:28or theory in your hand and from that
- 7:30theory you extract certain information
- 7:31then come to the
- 7:33certain hypothesis and when you talk
- 7:35about you know the theory
- 7:36it can be formulated through an
- 7:38hypothesis that is very true because
- 7:39when you
- 7:40apply the phenomena when you apply the
- 7:42tools of hypothesis
- 7:44you have null hypothesis then you have
- 7:46certain
- 7:47alternate hypothesis then you accept or
- 7:49reject and finally when you accept it
- 7:51it's it's become you know part and
- 7:54parcel of the research
- 7:55and when you start you know doing the
- 7:57research then very easily you come to
- 7:59the conclusion and that take a form of
- 8:00the theory so this is
- 8:02that considered to be you know the first
- 8:04information which you gathered or
- 8:05or you know taken extracted from the uh
- 8:09from the respondents to whom you have
- 8:11center floated the questionnaires so
- 8:13this is something which is there and
- 8:15when you talk about hypothesis
- 8:16hypothesis
- 8:17is a statement to guide research that is
- 8:19very true and
- 8:21and when you talk about prediction
- 8:22prediction is a is a guess of the
- 8:24outcome
- 8:25so uh if you the example is that you
- 8:28know getting eight hours of sleep makes
- 8:29more productive
- 8:31employees that is very true it's
- 8:32considered to be hypothesis but
- 8:34on the other hand prediction is if the
- 8:36individual gets eight hours of sleep
- 8:37then the individual will be more
- 8:39productive i think
- 8:40because it talks about you know
- 8:44the the thing which is there so
- 8:46hypothesis can be defined as an
- 8:48explanatory principle accounting for
- 8:49known facts in hypothetical
- 8:52thinking we want to know why something
- 8:54is true and we reason behind
- 8:56and we reason backward to find some
- 8:57explanation of for the facts
- 8:59one that makes sense of them so we use
- 9:01our imagination to find some reasons why
- 9:03things are
- 9:04the way they are and then you know these
- 9:06are considered to be a null hypothesis
- 9:08and then finally what happened we can
- 9:10we take alternative hypotheses and then
- 9:12we start you know
- 9:13doing the research and finally you know
- 9:15the respondents the two respondents you
- 9:17know the questionnaire need to be sent
- 9:18and then whatever they reciprocate
- 9:20we try to record it and then
- 9:23the sample which you are choosing and
- 9:25those who have reciprocate we
- 9:27accumulate all those data and then come
- 9:28to the conclusion so this is the modus
- 9:30operandi
- 9:31and once we build the concept you know
- 9:33gradually there are certain
- 9:34more terminologies which we throw a
- 9:36light on that and finally what happened
- 9:38after certain time you find out that
- 9:40when the concept is going to be
- 9:43mug up then very easily you can start
- 9:46you know using it you
- 9:47start you testing the concepts and then
- 9:49come to the conclusion so that is the
- 9:51beauty of this particular course
- 9:52if you talk about research methodology
- 9:54and statistical analysis it talks about
- 9:56the research from underneath to pinnacle
- 9:58and what we observe that there are many
- 10:00things which are taken into
- 10:01consideration
- 10:02and while you know certain concepts
- 10:04certain uh
- 10:06approaches so we will definitely throw a
- 10:08light and you
- 10:09feel that you know once you are equipped
- 10:11with this particular
- 10:12course very easily you can do your
- 10:15research in a more systematic manner
- 10:18so this is the point of discussion for
- 10:20today's discussion you know we have
- 10:22already talked about the research
- 10:23problem
- 10:24this is a chapter two and formulation of
- 10:26objective we have covered in our
- 10:27preceding sessions
- 10:28and this particular portion we are
- 10:30covering you know hypothesis
- 10:32meaning of hypothesis types of
- 10:33hypothesis is very important like you
- 10:35know descriptive
- 10:36or explanatory or null or alternative so
- 10:39we will
- 10:39talk about you know what are you know
- 10:41the different types of
- 10:42uh hypotheses and we will gradually you
- 10:45know take certain examples that is more
- 10:47important like
- 10:48how these examples are defending this
- 10:49particular type so that is where you
- 10:51know
- 10:51it can give the clear picture about the
- 10:53certain things and then testing of
- 10:55hypothesis
- 10:56and use of hypothesis how you are going
- 10:57to use the hypothesis because
- 11:00uh if you're not enough position to use
- 11:01the hypothesis you're not going to you
- 11:03know get the end results
- 11:04so for getting the end result for
- 11:05getting the respondent's view i think
- 11:07respond this hypothesis is quite
- 11:09important so hypothesis
- 11:11in research is is talking about uh
- 11:15testable answers to a scientific
- 11:16questions and
- 11:18which are more tentative in nature and
- 11:20hypothesis proposed explanation for a
- 11:22phenomena that is very true
- 11:23it's not it's a it's not a solid you
- 11:25know verdict but it's a proposed and
- 11:27maybe whatever we are proposing can be
- 11:30accepted can be rejected so we will see
- 11:32that
- 11:33how this procedure can work and
- 11:35hypothesis suggested solution for an
- 11:37unexplained occurrence that does not fit
- 11:40into current accepted scientific theory
- 11:42and what we observe that in hypothesis
- 11:44it leads to one or more predictions
- 11:46it's not like that you know you have you
- 11:49have only one
- 11:50one predictions or two productions it
- 11:52you have one or more predictions so
- 11:54that is the reason you know when we work
- 11:57on the basis of gaap and come to the
- 11:58objectives
- 11:59these objectives are converted into
- 12:00hypothesis and when you are having the
- 12:02hypothesis you have
- 12:04you have two or three vertex in between
- 12:07you know one talks about it can happen
- 12:09it cannot be happen and you know so on
- 12:12the basis of these things your
- 12:14predictions can somewhat
- 12:15accept it sometimes some somewhat some
- 12:17sometimes it could be rejected
- 12:19so the basic idea of a hypothesis is
- 12:21that there is no predetermined outcome
- 12:23that is very true because
- 12:25if you have a predetermined outcome in
- 12:26your mind i think you could be biased
- 12:28and sometimes you know that we have
- 12:30observed that the researchers are
- 12:31quite rigid in nature what they are
- 12:33thinking that whatever the hypothesis
- 12:35they have taken
- 12:36the null hypothesis they are taken it
- 12:38considered to be accepted
- 12:40so they are quite biased in their
- 12:42beginning stage so the
- 12:43uh the good point one should keep in
- 12:45mind that they should not be
- 12:47predetermined
- 12:48and uh let you know the respondents
- 12:50reciprocate because it's fine that you
- 12:52have gone through the literature you are
- 12:53expert in your particular area you are
- 12:55wizard in a particular area
- 12:56but when you are floating this
- 12:58particular hypothesis or questions
- 13:00among the among the masses among you
- 13:02know the big number of people i think
- 13:04when they receive procreate when they
- 13:05reply
- 13:06then you know the real challenge comes
- 13:08because the individual perception
- 13:10differs from
- 13:11from the from the opinion of you know
- 13:13the lot of people opinions
- 13:15so when a lot of people reply they have
- 13:16they are taking into consideration
- 13:18certain minds and sometimes in majority
- 13:20of cases what we observe that
- 13:22the null hypothesis you know the
- 13:23predictions or you know the opinion
- 13:25which we have taken in the very
- 13:26beginning
- 13:27seems to be you know rejected so
- 13:30uh yeah it's it's a it's a you know part
- 13:33of the life which is going on so
- 13:34so that that could be you know the the
- 13:38methodology which we are going on so for
- 13:40a hypothesis to be scientific hypothesis
- 13:42the scientific methods
- 13:43require that one can test it and we will
- 13:46definitely talk about when we are
- 13:47starting testing the hypothesis
- 13:49we try to you know take some more
- 13:51examples which can which can you know
- 13:53defend the certain questions which which
- 13:56comes in the mind of the researchers
- 13:58or the grassroots researchers who have
- 14:00just you know initiated their research
- 14:01so scientists generally base
- 14:03scientific hypothesis on previous
- 14:04observations that cannot satisfactorily
- 14:07be explained with the available
- 14:08scientific theories
- 14:09and what is hypothesis and research you
- 14:11know hypothesis is a special statement
- 14:13of prediction i have already
- 14:14thrown a light it describes in concrete
- 14:17rather than theoretical
- 14:18so terms what you expect will happen in
- 14:21a study and not all studies have
- 14:23hypothesis
- 14:23that is very true sometimes you know
- 14:25there are certain things which are which
- 14:27goes in a stereotype manner
- 14:28which goes in a straightforward manner
- 14:30so there you know
- 14:31the hypothesis is not going to apply and
- 14:33if there could be certain
- 14:35if there could not be no alternatives i
- 14:36think in that case we have to be
- 14:39follow whatever the null hypothesis we
- 14:40have taken and sometimes the study is
- 14:42designed to be
- 14:43exploratory and inductive research is
- 14:45there so hypothesis is used in an
- 14:47experiment to define the relationship
- 14:49between two variables there are one
- 14:50variables which talks about you know one
- 14:53thing and other variables talks about
- 14:54that so
- 14:55we will definitely talk about what are
- 14:57the variables and how this
- 14:58relationship is going to be con done
- 15:00between bridge between the two variables
- 15:02the purpose of hypothesis is to find the
- 15:04answers to a question
- 15:06and that is very true they are when we
- 15:08have certain hypothesis null hypothesis
- 15:10and once we start you know doing the
- 15:13research
- 15:14the the alternate hypothesis also comes
- 15:16so it is going to
- 15:17uh the the questions which researchers
- 15:20had framed
- 15:21is going to come to them the independent
- 15:23variable in in our previous example is
- 15:25not
- 15:25studying for a test and the dependent
- 15:27variable that you are using to measure
- 15:28outcome
- 15:29is your test score so what we have seen
- 15:32that hypothesis should always explain
- 15:33what you expect to happen
- 15:35be clear and understandable be testable
- 15:38and be measurable i think that is
- 15:40something which is there it's not like
- 15:42that
- 15:43you should always you know expect the
- 15:45things
- 15:46in a in a very simple manner always
- 15:49believes in test
- 15:51there are certain tests which are there
- 15:52and there are certain statistical tool
- 15:54also
- 15:54like t tests and over tests and all so
- 15:56how these are going to
- 15:58you know test the hypothesis and they
- 16:00are certain you know
- 16:02the manual way of checking the
- 16:03hypothesis but when the data is gigantic
- 16:06in nature when the data is different
- 16:08shape i think the test is going to
- 16:10statistical test is going to play a very
- 16:12vital role
- 16:13and you how you're going to measure that
- 16:14is more important so contain an
- 16:17independent and dependent variable their
- 16:18independent variable their dependent
- 16:20variable and how
- 16:21it is going to be have a combination of
- 16:23that that need to be taken care so
- 16:26now this is very important thing because
- 16:28when we talk about the hypothesis i
- 16:29think there are certain types which need
- 16:31to be
- 16:31highlighted in a more more elaborative
- 16:34manner so explanatory hypotheses are
- 16:36there then descriptive hypotheses are
- 16:38there then
- 16:39analogical hypotheses are there then
- 16:41working hypotheses are there then
- 16:43null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis
- 16:45are there then
- 16:46strategical hypothesis are there so when
- 16:49we are going to use this hypothesis it's
- 16:51it's
- 16:51uh it's there there's no thumb rule
- 16:53behind that it's not like that and
- 16:54there's no rocket science that
- 16:56you can you know start with the with one
- 16:58hypothesis and you are adhered or
- 17:00rigid to that very easily you can you
- 17:02know switch over yourself very easily
- 17:03you can you know move into based on the
- 17:04circumstances
- 17:06based on the scenario scenario and
- 17:08sometimes you know the
- 17:09the based on the sample size also some
- 17:11sometimes what you observe that the
- 17:12sample size
- 17:13uh sample sampling collecting the
- 17:17sample you know collection of data
- 17:18through sampling is you know it's a very
- 17:21cumbersome task so in in that case they
- 17:22are certain you know the
- 17:23methodology which are going to apply so
- 17:25we will talk one by one if you talk
- 17:27about you know the explanatory
- 17:28hypothesis which is usually called
- 17:32the relational hypothesis it describes
- 17:34relationship between two variables
- 17:35and relationship may be positive maybe
- 17:37negative may
- 17:38or you know may or having a causal
- 17:40effect so this type of hypothesis
- 17:42explain the happenings of phenomena like
- 17:44families with higher income spends more
- 17:46for recreation foreign goods are
- 17:48perceived by indian consumers to be
- 17:49better quality than domestic goods
- 17:51so what we have observed that there are
- 17:53certain relationship which is which is
- 17:55linked with that
- 17:56so if you talk about this particular
- 17:58explanatory hypothesis we must devise a
- 17:59set of experimental conditions
- 18:01under which something specific will
- 18:03occur if the hypothesis is correct but
- 18:05it will not occur
- 18:06if the hypothesis is incorrect so in
- 18:08that case what happened the null
- 18:10hypothesis you have taken
- 18:11become rejected and then you can you
- 18:13have accept you are going you have no
- 18:15option but to accept the
- 18:16alternate hypothesis so there are
- 18:18therefore our test must meet two
- 18:20exacting criteria it must predict what
- 18:21will happen if explanation is correct
- 18:23it must predict what will not happen if
- 18:25the explanation is wrong
- 18:26so this is the explanatory study and now
- 18:29the second one is descriptive hypothesis
- 18:31and this this hypothesis describe the
- 18:34cause and effect relationship of a
- 18:35phenomena
- 18:36group like you know the example group
- 18:38study helps to achieve high marks in
- 18:39examination
- 18:40and public enterprise are more amenable
- 18:42to for centralized planning so
- 18:44what we observe that you know the this
- 18:47descriptive hypothesis model is there
- 18:49and preposition that
- 18:50state the existence size form or
- 18:52distribution of some variable are
- 18:54are into picture and variable can be
- 18:56object it can be person organization
- 18:58situation or
- 18:59event so it's not like that you can just
- 19:02you know
- 19:02confine to certain things but it can be
- 19:04object person organization situation or
- 19:06event
- 19:07and and if you talk about analogical
- 19:09hypothesis when we formulate a
- 19:11hypothesis on the basis of similarities
- 19:13analogy it is called an analogical
- 19:15hypothesis like families with higher
- 19:17earning invest more surplus income on
- 19:19long term investments
- 19:20so what we have observed that there are
- 19:24certain similarities
- 19:25that if the income is high if your
- 19:26paying capacity is more if your spending
- 19:28capacity is more very easily you can buy
- 19:30some
- 19:31it's it's occurred with you know the
- 19:32elite goods or what you observe that
- 19:34they are there certain you know items
- 19:36which are quite expensive in nature and
- 19:38it it scattered the particular segment
- 19:41so like you know the
- 19:43uh the expensive cars you know the
- 19:45brands like the masteries or you know
- 19:47the bmws and which is you know having a
- 19:50different segment so
- 19:51and you know on the other hand there are
- 19:53certain you know gadgets
- 19:54which are which are going to cater the
- 19:55particular class and creed like the
- 19:57apple phones have got a different
- 19:58segment whereas
- 19:59you know the the the phone which are in
- 20:02the bracket of 10 to 15 000 rupees
- 20:05are you know cater the different class
- 20:07include so
- 20:08this is basically a model which is there
- 20:10and when you talk about the working
- 20:11hypothesis sometimes certain facts
- 20:13cannot be explained
- 20:14adequately by existing hypothesis and
- 20:16now no new hypothesis comes up
- 20:18thus the investigation is held up in
- 20:20this situation a researcher tried to
- 20:22formulate hypothesis which enables
- 20:24continued investigation so
- 20:25continue like you know framed initially
- 20:27may not be very specific subject to
- 20:29modification
- 20:30or when existing data is insufficient so
- 20:32in that case you work on the continuing
- 20:34investigation and this the and you start
- 20:37you know working and
- 20:38then in a routine manner you come to the
- 20:40conclusion or you know
- 20:41when you start doing the process because
- 20:43certain changes which are coming up in a
- 20:45very frequent manner
- 20:46and these how to we are going to
- 20:49stop the changes for that you know
- 20:51working hypothesis will be there
- 20:53so it's it could be quite perpetual in
- 20:54nature it could be quite you know
- 20:56movement specific where you can start
- 20:59your hypothesis testing
- 21:00in a routine manner and it can go up to
- 21:02you know till the research is
- 21:04on the final end so this is the model
- 21:07which is there
- 21:08and and there are certain examples which
- 21:11are
- 21:12which are which are there so now you
- 21:15know the null and alternative hypothesis
- 21:17is there if you talk about
- 21:18this particular hypothesis uh
- 21:21we have already talked about null
- 21:23hypothesis which stands with
- 21:25h0 or alternate hypothesis which stands
- 21:28with h1
- 21:29so so null hypothesis is denoted and the
- 21:31alternate hypothesis is noted as h1 or
- 21:33ha
- 21:34which we use called as uh alternate
- 21:36hypothesis so null hypothesis is the one
- 21:38to be tested and alternate
- 21:40is very is everything else so null
- 21:42hypothesis is a general statement that
- 21:43states that there is no relationship
- 21:45between two phenomena
- 21:46under consideration or that is there no
- 21:48association between
- 21:49two groups so an alternative hypothesis
- 21:52is a statement that describes that there
- 21:54is a relationship between two selected
- 21:55variables in a study
- 21:56and when you know when you start with
- 21:59the null hypothesis then you have
- 22:00certain alternative hypothesis and
- 22:02finally
- 22:02if null hypothesis is rejected then
- 22:05alternate hypothesis is accepted
- 22:07so the assumption is beginning with the
- 22:08opposite of what you are testing
- 22:10so alternate hypothesis is the claim you
- 22:13are testing
- 22:14and when you talk about the null
- 22:16hypothesis the null hypothesis assumes
- 22:18that there is no relationship
- 22:19between two variables and that
- 22:21controlling one variable has no effect
- 22:23on the
- 22:23other end like you know the cat show no
- 22:26preference for food
- 22:28based on shape plant growth is not
- 22:30affected by light color
- 22:32is has no effect on musical ability so
- 22:35these are considered to be the null
- 22:36hypothesis
- 22:37and when you go more into the backdrop
- 22:39of null hypothesis i think
- 22:42this is a statement that denies the
- 22:44working hypothesis
- 22:45predicts that there is no relationship
- 22:47between two variables cannot exist in
- 22:49reality
- 22:50an assumption that will maintain by the
- 22:51researcher unless the analysis of data
- 22:53provide
- 22:54significant evidence prove it and denote
- 22:56it as ho i have already talked about as
- 22:580 or we can say
- 23:00for example you know this is example
- 23:01which is linked with alternative
- 23:03hypothesis also
- 23:04in clinical trial there is no
- 23:05significant dis difference between two
- 23:07drugs
- 23:08this is this is considered to be the
- 23:09null hypothesis now when we move to
- 23:11alternative hypothesis the hypothesis to
- 23:13be accepted when
- 23:14hypothesis is rejected that is very true
- 23:17and denoted by h 1
- 23:18or h a we have talked about and if you
- 23:20see the particular statement which we
- 23:22have used in the
- 23:23null hypothesis we are creating a
- 23:25replica of that in clinical trial there
- 23:26is no significant difference between two
- 23:28drugs
- 23:29this was null hypothesis and now
- 23:31alternate hypothesis
- 23:32is in clinical trials and the new drug
- 23:34is better than the current drug
- 23:36so so why we are putting this hypothesis
- 23:40because
- 23:40when we start the research we have
- 23:42certain presumptions certain assumptions
- 23:43in our mind
- 23:44that we start our journey with this
- 23:46particular framework with this
- 23:47particular statement
- 23:48but when it is you know floated to the
- 23:50respondent to the to the you know the
- 23:52group of people
- 23:53to the masses and when the masses you
- 23:55know reciprocates i think
- 23:56from there you know the the problem
- 23:58comes because or the answer comes
- 24:00because they
- 24:01have a different bent of mind they have
- 24:02a different flavor and then
- 24:04you know the things are there so anyway
- 24:06i think statistical hypothesis is
- 24:08are the statement derived from a sample
- 24:10these are qualitative in nature and are
- 24:12numerically measurable
- 24:14for example the market share of product
- 24:15x is 70 percent the average life of tube
- 24:18light is two thousand hours etc
- 24:20so now uh what we are going to do
- 24:24uh how to formulate an effective
- 24:25hypothesis that is their state the
- 24:27problems that you are trying to solve
- 24:29make sure that hypothesis clearly
- 24:30defines the topic and focus
- 24:33of the experiment try to write the
- 24:34hypothesis as
- 24:36as an if then statement define the
- 24:39variables
- 24:40i think i think steps in hypothesis
- 24:42testing is data
- 24:44state hypothesis select test statistics
- 24:46calculate test statistic
- 24:48if you are going to conclude ho may be
- 24:50true do not reject
- 24:51and can and this ha is true
- 24:55so anyway i think we are going to wind
- 24:56up now and we have already talked about
- 24:59this particular
- 25:00phenomena and if you talk about the use
- 25:02of hypothesis
- 25:03starting point for many research work it
- 25:05helps in deciding the direction in which
- 25:06to proceed
- 25:07its help in selecting and collecting
- 25:09pertinent facts it is an aid to
- 25:11explanation
- 25:12it helps in drawing specific conclusions
- 25:14and then testing theories are there
- 25:16and it works on the future knowledge i
- 25:18think we have
- 25:19we have thrown a light on hypothesis in
- 25:21a very elaborate manner and
- 25:23starting with you know the types and and
- 25:25what are the concept which are behind
- 25:27the assumptions so and the whole
- 25:28research you know starts with the
- 25:29assumption and
- 25:30read and it and then you lead to the
- 25:32final conclusion which is
- 25:33more you know realistic in nature so
- 25:35hypothesis starts with assumption
- 25:37and talks about the realistic approach
- 25:39and then you know the model is applied
- 25:42and i think i we could wind up in our
- 25:45in our forthcoming session we are going
- 25:47to talk more about you know the certain
- 25:48phenomena which are going to be useful
- 25:50related to that and then once we build
- 25:53up the concept then very easily we can
- 25:55apply the the concept in testing the
- 25:59the the research and other things thank
- 26:01you very much
- 26:10[Music]
- 26:18you
