I have been given a project report to be prepared, but I don't know how to develop a hypothesis. I am not clear about the difference between null and alternative hypotheses. What is the actual difference between a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis? Could you provide examples as well?

In research projects, a null hypothesis (H0) is a statement that there is no significant difference or relationship between variables, while an alternative hypothesis (H1) suggests the presence of a significant difference or relationship. The null hypothesis typically represents the status quo or no effect, while the alternative hypothesis challenges this notion. For example, in a study testing the effectiveness of a new training program on employee productivity, the null hypothesis would state that there is no difference in productivity between employees who undergo the training and those who do not. Conversely, the alternative hypothesis would propose that the training program leads to a significant increase in productivity among employees. It is essential to understand and formulate both hypotheses correctly to design a robust research study and draw meaningful conclusions based on the results.
