The null hypothesis (H0) is a statement of no effect or no difference, which in this case would be that the sick leave rate remains at 26% (p = 0.26). The alternative hypothesis (HA) is what the manager hopes to achieve with the new incentive program, which is to reduce the sick leave rate (p < 0.26).
