Answer 1

Answer:

d. A hypothesis is derived from the evidence at hand; the evidence produces the hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis is a statement that is to be tested against the alternative hypothesis and then decision is taken whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis. The evidence suggests that a certain hypothesis is tested for its reliability. The hypothesis is accepted or rejected on the basis of its underlying evidences.
