The term hypothesis is used in science and statistics. I have included two links related to the these terms.In statistics, the null and alternative hypothesis are mathematical statements used in statistical decision making. An example of a null hypothesis is the mean of the population from which a sample was obtained is equal to 10. The mean of the data is sufficiently different from 10 can be used to reject the null hypothesis.As used in science, hypothesis is the initial idea suggested by observation or preliminary experimentation. See related links.
Not sure about an interactive hypothesis: are you sure you don't mean alternative hypothesis?
The null hypothesis is the statement that there is no relationship between two observations.
Drop two balls with different weights and observe which ball hits the ground first.
A test statistic is used to test whether a hypothesis that you have about the underlying distribution of your data is correct or not. The test statistic could be the mean, the variance, the maximum or anything else derived from the observed data. When you know the distribution of the test statistic (under the hypothesis that you want to test) you can find out how probable it was that your test statistic had the value it did have. If this probability is very small, then you reject the hypothesis. The test statistic should be chosen so that under one hypothesis it has one outcome and under the is a summary measure based on the data. It could be the mean, the maximum, the variance or any other statistic. You use a test statistic when you are testing between two hypothesis and the test statistic is one You might think of the test statistic as a single number that summarizes the sample data. Some common test statistics are z-score and t-scores.
