Recall Milgram’s infamous obedience studies. Milgram had participants give a series of increasingly painful electric shocks to another participant (actually a confederate). Milgram he found that 65% of the real participants obeyed through the end of the study, giving what they thought was 350 volts to the confederate, which was considered “lethal”. Given the infamous study and the negative attention it received, current researchers doubt that current (and more knowledgeable) participants would obey as much as the naïve participants that Milgram used in the original study. Are the researchers correct? Which is the research hypothesis?
Ha: Obedience = 65%
Ha: Obedience < 65%
Given Milgram's infamous obedience studies. Here hypothesis test is carried away to check if the current participants obey as much as the naive participants taht milgram used in original study.
Alternate Hypothesis : It is used in hypothesis test to contradicct the null hypothesis. It usually tell about the significant relationship between two variables. If there is one variable, then it tell about the significant relaitonship of varable with its mean.
