The null hypothesis H₀ states that the two variables are independent, meaning that there is no relationship between them. Therefore, if the null hypothesis is true, the variables are not related, and if it is rejected, it implies that there is evidence of dependence between the two variables. Therefore, a rejection of the null hypothesis would suggest that the alternative hypothesis is true, which states that the two variables are related.
