Statistics-Hypotheses

INSTRUCTIONS:

although Huck (2012) notes it does not have to be.  The alternative hypothesis contradicts the null hypothesis. Discussion 3: HypothesesHypothesis TestingRefer to your Huck text and the chaptertitled, "Hypothesis Testing" (or some other source) and then provide the following information:Based from the variables you presented in the second discussion write a Null and Alternate hypothesis.  Ho: Null  Ha: AlternateThe Huck text chapter on hypothesis testing offers many different examples of null and alternate hypothesis. Once you've stated your hypotheses, then read the final section of the chapter, The Meaning of Significance. In 3-4 sentences discuss whether or not you think the tests of your hypotheses may be significant in casual everyday language and interms of statistical significance.Be sure to post your original response and then respond to at least one of yourclassmates.HERE IS THE 2ND DISCUSSION YOU DID FOR ME ON JUNE 4, 2021The project assesses the disadvantages of the RTI model in identifying exceptional student education (ESE). In this regard, the first variable is the learning style, assessed through recitationandrecall rate. Secondly, learning disability describes a disorder that adversely affects the capacity to understand, and use spoken or written language. According to Huck (2012), bivariate correlations assess two variables dependent on each other. The study examines how a student’s learning style, such as visual or spatial, and how it correlates with a learning disability will assist in evaluating RTI’s efficacy and possible disadvantages.Based on the assumption that RTI has a higher possibility of classifying all slow learners as having a learning incapacity, the expected outcome is a significant correlation between the two variables. In this regard, a student’s learning style is anticipated to suggest the individual has a learning disability, a misconstruction, and an error associated with the RTI model. As emphasized, the project aims at identifying the disadvantages of the RTI approach, which is associated with non-representative policymaking. As Huck (2012) states, the correlation does not indicate a cause and effect; hence, the likelihood of error.A positive and high association is expected. As a measure of correlation, Huck (2012) states that a positive and high value suggests a strong relationship between the variables, suggesting the larger variable A is, the larger variable B will be. In such a case. The association will be essential in highlighting one of the cons of the RTI process, owing to an implied but misconstrued cause-and-effect association between the two elements. As indicated, the suggestion is that students with various learning styles or slow learners are likely to be identified as having a disability. The assumption is incorrect.ReferencesHuck, S. W.
