| null hypothesis |
The assumption that nothing other than chance is operating to produce the effect which we see in a particular data set. The null hypothesis is rejected if a particular outcome, or the data set as a whole, is very unlikely to have been produced by chance. No particular alternative hypothesis is thereby proved; the only conclusion is that something is going on. See Lesson 1.

| null hypothesis |
The statistical hypothesis that one variable (eg whether or not a study participant was allocated to receive an intervention) has no association with another variable or set of variables (eg whether or not a study participant died), or that two or more population distributions do not differ from one another. In simplest terms, the null hypothesis states that the results observed in a study are no different from what might have occurred as a result of the play of chance.

| null hypothesis |
