Null
A non-directional research hypothesis is a kind of hypothesis that is used in testing statistical significance. It states that there is no difference between variables.
The difference between the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis are on the sense of the tests. In statistical inference, the null hypothesis should be in a positive sense such in a sense, you are testing a hypothesis you are probably sure of. In other words, the null hypothesis must be the hypothesis you are almost sure of. Just an important note, that when you are doing a tests, you are testing if a certain event probably occurs at certain level of significance. The alternative hypothesis is the opposite one.
The alpha level is the level decided before inferential statistic tests are run at which the null hypothesis may be rejected. The null hypothesis basically states that there is no difference or that a certain claim is true. For example, somebody may say the mean of a population is 50. If we test a sample and find a sample mean different from 50, we may question if the mean of the population really is people. Based on a normal distribution curve, we find how likely it is that we got the result we did assuming the mean really was 50. The alpha level would be determined before hand. If we set the alpha level at .05 and found our result would only occur in 3% of cases if the mean were really 50, we would reject the null hypothesis (In this example the null hypothesis states that the mean is 50). Depending on how important it is to have accurate data, the alpha level may be higher or lower. If in our example the alpha level was .01, the data would not be significant and we would fail to reject the null hypothesis because 3% is greater than 1%.
Without getting into the mathematical details, the Central Limit Theorem states that if you take a lot of samples from a certain probability distribution, the distribution of their sum (and therefore their mean) will be approximately normal, even if the original distribution was not normal. Furthermore, it gives you the standard deviation of the mean distribution: it's σn1/2. When testing a statistical hypothesis or calculating a confidence interval, we generally take the mean of a certain number of samples from a population, and assume that this mean is a value from a normal distribution. The Central Limit Theorem tells us that this assumption is approximately correct, for large samples, and tells us the standard deviation to use.
Well geographically speaking, the average IQ of democratic states are higher than republican states. That is not to mean that the Republican states are less intelligent, the difference in IQ is generally expected as democratic states tend to be located in regions that have large metropolitan cities. It is known that metropolitan areas often have better schools due to the higher average income of the nearby population. Also, it is important to note that many colleges of high caliber are located in Democratic states, and gifted students from around world aim for these colleges regardless of location or party affiliation. Overall, the importance of IQ is not relevant to what party to vote for. Each party has different supporting populations. Scientists, for instance, generally favor the Democratic party. Priests are most often Republican. Do not vote for what you believe is the smartest party, vote for what you believe is the party that suits your interests and the country's interests the best.

hypothesis
A hypothesis is a proposed explanation or prediction that is based on limited evidence and subject to further investigation. It serves as the starting point for scientific research and helps guide the design of experiments or studies. There are two main types of hypotheses: null and alternative. A null hypothesis states that there is no relationship or difference between variables, while an alternative hypothesis asserts that there is a relationship or difference between variables.
When forming a hypothesis for quantitative research, a declarative hypothesis states the expected relation between variables, whereas a null hypothesis states that there is no significant relation.
When a hypothesis is proven, it is no longer a hypothesis; a proven hypothesis is a theory.

change of state is when the different states of matter are changed into one another. states of matter are gas, liquid, plasma and solid.

The Nebular Hypothesis.
The autotrophic hypothesis states that the first living beings on Earth were producers of their own food.
When someone states the outcome of an accurate hypothesis ahead of time, this is called a prediction. The plural form of hypothesis is hypotheses.
