Question

QUESTION5 A researcher wanted to determine whether bright colors would affect the energy levels of children. Sixteen children were randomly assigned to either an experimental group that were placed in a bright colored room or a control group that were placed in a dul-white room. After one hour, children in both groups were assessed for energy levels (1-150, with higher scores reflecting more energy). Which of the following would be the appropriate NONDIRECTIONAL ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS? O The energy levels of the children will not affect the color of the room. O The energy levels of children will affect the color of the room. OBright colors will not affect the energy levels of children Bright colors will affect the energy levels of children.

Answer 1

Correct option:

The energy levels of the children will affect the color of the room.

EXPLANATION:

Null Hypothesis is for no variation existing between variables.Here energy levels of the children and color of the room are the two variables. So, the statement that the energy levels of the children will not affect the color of the room goes to null hypothesis. The converse of the same: the energy levels of the children will affect the color of the room will go to NON-DIRECTIONAL ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS.
