We are going to test the effect of slight exercise on heart rate. It is well known that if you moderately exercise your heart rate will increase. However this increase could be different for different individuals based on age and how physically fit they are. For this activity you are going to measure the change in the heart rate of individuals you have slightly exercised. Please use extreme caution with this activity and only select individuals that are able to perform the tasks that you are asking of them.
Questions:
What is our general hypothesis?
What is the null hypothesis?
What is the alternative hypothesis?
General Hypothesis: General hypothesis is most general statement that is very likely about the relationship between given variables.
In this situation the general hypothesis is Moderate exercise increases the heart rate.
Null hypothesis: Null hypothesis is the statement which negate any difference or change between two or more variables (phenomenon).
In this situation the Null hypothesis is " there is no difference in the heart rate before and after exercise (µbefore = µafter)".
Alternative Hypothesis: Alternative hypothesis is the statement which is contradictory of Null hypothesis. It promotes any change or diffrence in existing phenomenon.
In this situation the Alternative hypothesis is " there is increase in the heart rate after the moderate exercise (µbefore < µafter)".
