Hypotheses 1 and 2 have a continuous independent variable. Referring to the figure in the previous section, we will opt for the chi-squared test. In the process of hypothesis testing, we start by defining a null hypothesis and an alternate hypothesis. Start with a negative approach, that is, assume the null hypothesis to be what we don't want to happen. The hypothesis test examines the chances that the pattern observed happens due to random chance or there if is certainty about the observation. This measure is quantified as probability. If the probability of the significance of the null hypothesis to happen is less than 5% (or a suitable cut-off), we reject the null hypothesis and confirm the validity of the alternate hypothesis.

Let's begin; for hypothesis 1, we define the following:

  • Null hypothesis: The campaign outcome has no relationship with the employee variance rate.

  • Alternate hypothesis: The campaign outcome has a relationship...
