A null hypothesis that specifies the direction of the expected difference or relationship between two variables, which is not a standard form of null hypothesis and might be considered a misinterpretation, as null hypotheses typically state there is no effect or difference.

Directional Alternative Hypothesis

A hypothesis that specifies the direction of an expected difference or relationship, not just the existence of a difference.

Non-directional Alternative Hypothesis

A non-directional alternative hypothesis is a type of hypothesis used in statistical testing that predicts a relationship between variables without specifying the direction of the relationship.

Non-directional Null Hypothesis
