Null-hypothesis for a Multiple-Linear Regression
Conceptual Explanation
With hypothesis testing we are setting up a null-hypothesis –
With hypothesis testing we are setting up a null-hypothesis – the probability that there is no effect or relationship –
With hypothesis testing we are setting up a null-hypothesis – the probability that there is no effect or relationship – and then we collect evidence that leads us to either accept or reject that null hypothesis.
As you may recall, when running a Multiple-Linear Regression you are attempting to determine the predictive power of more than one independent (hours of sleep, study time, gender, family background, etc.) on a dependent variable (test scores).
Here are two templates for a Multiple Linear Regression Null-Hypotheses:
Template #1
There will be no significant prediction of [insert dependent variable] by [insert predictor variable 1] and [insert predictor variable 2], etc.
Here is an example:
You have been asked to investigate how well hours of sleep, study time, gender, mother’s education predicts ACT scores.
Null-hypothesis #1 for:
You have been asked to investigate how well hours of sleep, study time, gender, mother’s education predicts ACT scores.
There will be no significant prediction of [insert dependent variable] by [insert predictor variable 1], [insert predictor variable 2], [insert predictor variable 3], & [insert predictor variable 4].
Null-hypothesis #1 for:
You have been asked to investigate how well hours of sleep, study time, gender, mother’s education predicts ACT scores.
There will be no significant prediction of [insert dependent variable] by [insert predictor variable 1], [insert predictor variable 2], [insert predictor variable 3], & [insert predictor variable 4].
Null-hypothesis #1 for:
You have been asked to investigate how well hours of sleep, study time, gender, mother’s education predicts ACT scores.
