15. Background of the Study
• existing literatures
• current issues and present problems related to the
study

18. PARTS OF THE INTRODUCTION
Research Hypothesis

19. Research Hypothesis
• Null Hypothesis (H₀) – states the exact opposite of what a
researcher predicts or expects in the study.
Example: There is no significant difference in the average glycemic index of
mice among the three concentrations of wachichao.
• Alternative Hypothesis (H₁) – makes a statement that
proposes a potential result that a researcher may expect.
Example: There is a significant difference in the average glycemic index of
mice among the three concentrations of wachichao.
