You hypothesize that older adults will have slower reaction times in your driving simulation research. Your hypothesis is the

B) Null hypothesis.
C) Operationalized hypothesis.
D) Parsimonious hypothesis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The alternative hypothesis is the prediction or expectation of the experiment, which in this case is that older adults will have slower reaction times. The null hypothesis would be that there is no difference in reaction times between older and younger adults, but this is not the hypothesis described in the question. The other two options, operationalized and parsimonious hypotheses, are not relevant to hypothesis testing in this context.
