Abstract: Abstract At the end of this chapter $$\ldots $$ … $$\ldots $$ … you will have an idea of the role that hypotheses play in scientific research. $$\ldots $$ … you will know that you can not verify a hypothesis, but rather can only falsify, and that for this reason, the falsified null hypothesis has an important role in statistical hypothesis testing! $$\ldots $$ … you will know what type 1 and type 2 errors are and will know the meaning of the term “power calculations”. $$\ldots $$ … you will know that a non-significant result is not the same as “no correlation”.
