An alternative hypothesis is a hypothesis that there is a relationship between variables. This includes any hypothesis that predicts positive correlation, negative correlation, non-directional correlation or causation. The only hypothesis that isn't an alternative hypothesis is a null hypothesis that predicts no relationship between independent and dependent variables. The following are hypothetical examples of an alternative hypothesis.
Years of kendo experience has a positive correlation with personal resilience.Coffee drinkers have higher average productivity than people who don't drink coffee.Temperature influences the volume of alcohol.Rain causes mud puddles.There is a positive correlation between the price of silver and gold.Beeswax can be used to waterproof shoes.People feel happier on Fridays.People use the internet more on Mondays than any other day of the week.
