De nulhypothese
Example: De nulhypothese stelt dat er geen effect is in het onderzoek.
Definition
"De nulhypothese" is a research hypothesis that assumes no effect or relationship exists between variables in a study, serving as a default or starting point for statistical testing to determine if observed data significantly deviates from this assumption.
Etymology
The term "de nulhypothese" originates from Dutch, combining 'nul' meaning 'zero' and 'hypothese' meaning 'hypothesis'. It reflects the idea of a 'zero hypothesis' or a claim of no effect, which researchers test against to find evidence of an actual effect.
