An assumption or theory. During a criminal trial, a hypothesis is a theory set forth by either the prosecution or the defense for the purpose of explaining the facts in evidence. It also serves to set up a ground for an inference of guilt or innocence, or a showing of the most probable motive for a criminal offense. |

How about considering an alternative hypothesis, along
Giroux's lines? The power of a statistical test is the probability of rejecting
the null hypothesis given that the alternative hypothesis is true
(Cohen, 1988; Kraemer & Thiemann, 1987; Lipsey, 1990). In this situation, the null hypothesis is that the
tumor incidence rates in the dose groups are no larger than the rate in
the control group; the alternative hypothesis is that the tumor
incidence rate in at least one dose group is strictly larger than in the
control group. |
