.”Juan likes to read articles in order to expand his knowledge on different research
circumstance. He encountered two hypotheses. Hypothesis A states that “The amount of text
highlighted in the textbook has an effect on exam scores.” On the other hand, hypothesis B says that “The amount of text highlighted in the textbook has no effect on exam scores.” Which
of the following best describes the statement?
A - Alternative hypothesis
B – Null hypothesis

study.
