Null-hypothesis for a Point Biserial
Conceptual Explanation
With hypothesis testing we are setting up a null-hypothesis –
With hypothesis testing we are setting up a null-hypothesis – the probability that there is no effect or relationship –
With hypothesis testing we are setting up a null-hypothesis – the probability that there is no effect or relationship – and then we collect evidence that leads us to either accept or reject that null hypothesis.
As you may recall, a Point-Biserial Correlation is a value that makes it possible to statistically test the relationship between a dichotomous variable and a continuous variable.
