Which of the following statement is true about the null hypothesis?Answer and Explanation:
The option (c) is true. In hypothesis testing, the null hypothesis is true when two population proportion is assumed to be equal. Moreover, a study with a larger sample is equally likely compared to a smaller study to get the result P<0.05 .
