The null hypothesis is the statement that is being tested, often representing the status quo or no effect. It is not rejected unless there is convincing sample evidence that it is false. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because a research hypothesis is a statement that predicts a relationship or effect between variables. Option B is incorrect because an alternative hypothesis is opposite to the null hypothesis and predicts that there is a significant relationship or effect. Option D is incorrect because a chi-square is a statistical test used to determine the significance between categorical variables.
