How to write a Null Hypothesis and an Alternative Hypothesis


Write the hypothesis with clearly defined variables and define what makes results significant (Alternative Hypothesis) or insignificant (Null Hypothesis).
Step One: Write a Hypothesis
Before writing a Null Hypothesis (H0) and an Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) you must write a Hypothesis (H).
Step Two: Determine what makes the results significant
Decide what makes the experiment or research significant (i.e. Alternative Hypothesis or Ha) and insignificant (i.e. Null Hypothesis or H0).

When creating hypotheses, it is important to note that they are neither a start nor an end.
They should serve as the center point for what you are trying to achieve and should be refined as you update or expand your product, service or experience.
They are also capable of demonstrating that you should not pursue a feature or a product, service or experience - and that's OK.
