Based on the rationale, the question seems highly context-specific, wherein you’d recognize what the hypothesis is like you said and recognize that it’s being compared to a null hypothesis. The reason I bring this up is because, while the note does line up with what’s going on, I’m not sure if memorizing it would contribute to getting this question right. Let me know if there’s anything I’m not considering. As always, thank you for all your suggestions @Brian_BH !
Yeah, I could go either way on this. I hadn’t seen anything else mentioning a null hypothesis so I tossed it in out of due diligence. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Just because this QID seems like working through logic using the passage as opposed to building off of what’s memorized to make conceptual conclusions, I’ll close out this suggestion. Please do correct me if I’m wrong though!
