Arachnophobia is the fear of spiders. People with arachnophobia suffer to different degrees, but they tend to react intensely to visible signs of the presence of spiders, such as webs. The director of a clinic decides to investigate different treatment types for arachnophobia. She gathers three groups of clients: One group receives in vivo flooding, which involves prolonged or repeated exposure to the actual anxiety-producing stimuli. The second group receives imaginal flooding, which involves the same techniques as in vivo flooding, except the exposure occurs in the client’s imagination. The third group receives no treatment. The results come in, and a statistician conducts an analysis of variance.


The ___________ is that there is no difference between the population means (in other words, there is no treatment effect).
The ___________is that at least one of the population means is different from another (in other words, there is an effect Of at least one Of the treatments).

Answer:

1. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the population means (in other words, there is no treatment effect).

2. The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the population means is different from another (in other words, there is an effect Of at least one Of the treatments).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a statistical analysis, the statistician shares his participants into several groups and administers treatments to them. After administering the treatment, he might want to compare the values obtained to see if there is a difference. If he accepts the null hypothesis as true, that means that there was no difference between the population means. This can also be taken to mean that the result had no difference among the groups.

But if the alternative hypothesis was true, that means that the population means were not all equal and so, there was an effect from the treatment administered.  

Answer:

1. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the population means (in other words, there is no treatment effect).

2. The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the population means is different from another (in other words, there is an effect Of at least one Of the treatments).
