The correct answer is: 2) It is only the null hypothesis that can be tested.
Explanation:
- In hypothesis testing, we always test the null hypothesis (H₀).
- The null hypothesis represents the assumption that there is no effect or no significant difference.
- The alternative hypothesis (H₁) is what we seek evidence for, but we do not test it directly.
- Based on statistical analysis, we either reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
