What does the null hypothesis (H0) state?

  1. There is a statistically significant difference between groups.

  2. There is no statistically significant difference between groups.

  3. Data fits into a limited group of discrete options.

  4. Data is provided by some type of measurement with unlimited options.

The correct answer is: There is no statistically significant difference between groups.

The null hypothesis (H0) states that there is no statistically significant difference between groups. This means that the data does not show a significant difference between the groups being compared and any differences can be attributed to chance. Option A is incorrect because the null hypothesis specifically states that there is no significant difference, not a significant difference. Option C and D are also incorrect as they do not pertain to the concept of a null hypothesis. The null hypothesis is used to test for significance between groups, not the different types of data or measurements.
