Detailed explanation-1: -Now that you have analyzed your data, the last step is to draw your conclusions. Conclusions summarize whether the experiment or survey results support or contradict the original hypothesis. Teams should include key facts from your team’s background research to help explain the results.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hypothesis testing is used to assess the plausibility of a hypothesis by using sample data. The test provides evidence concerning the plausibility of the hypothesis, given the data. Statistical analysts test a hypothesis by measuring and examining a random sample of the population being analyzed.
Detailed explanation-3: -To get the correct wording, you need to recall which hypothesis was the claim. If the claim was the null, then your conclusion is about whether there was sufficient evidence to reject the claim. Remember, we can never prove the null to be true, but failing to reject it is the next best thing.
