There is no association between ethical values and corruption, this is a type of ....................... hypothesis.

  • A.Null hypothesis
  • B.Alternative hypothesis
  • C.Positive hypothesis
  • D.Negative hypothesis

Answer: A

It is a null hypothesis.

A null hypothesis states that there is no relationship or difference between variables, here between ethical values and corruption. Research tests whether the data allow it to be rejected in favour of an alternative.

The alternative hypothesis would state that there is an association. 'Positive' and 'negative' describe the direction of a predicted relationship (more of one goes with more, or less, of the other), not the statement that there is no relationship at all.
