a example of a hypothesis is saying i can conclude that....
A non-directional hypothesis only proposes a relationship. In contrast, a directional hypothesis also proposes a direction in the relationship. For example, when one variable increases, the other will decrease.
In statistical hypothesis testing you have a null hypothesis against which you are testing an alternative. The hypothesis concerns one or more characteristics of the distribution. It is easier to illustrate the idea of directional and non-directional hypothesis. In studying the academic abilities of boys and girls the null hypothesis would be that boys and girls are equally able. One directional hypothesis would be that boys are more able. The non-directional alternative would be that there is a gender difference. You have no idea whether boys are more able or girls - only that they are not the same.
a negatively stated hypothesis. example: the application of horse manure has no significant effect!
