What is an experimental/alternative hypothesis?

HELPPP ME|||It is the hypothesis you actually want to test.





For example, consider that you want to run an experiment with overweight and thin people to see who eats more potato chips.





Your null hypothesis would be "There is no difference in the amount of potato chips eaten by thin and overweight people".





Your experimental/alternative hypothesis would be "Overweight people consume MORE potato chips than thin people".
