A null hypothesis typically involves a parameter (a numerical characteristic of a population), and the statement $H_0: 18 = 6$ does not contain any parameter. It merely compares two fixed values, which is not how null hypotheses are formulated in statistical testing.

Is the statement H0:18=6 a valid null hypothesis? \text { Is the statement } H _ { 0 } : 18 = 6 \text { a valid null hypothesis? } Is the statement H0​:18=6 a valid null hypothesis?

$\text { Is the statement } H _ { 0 } : 18 = 6 \text { a valid null hypothesis? }$
