When stating the null and alternative hypotheses, the hypotheses are: Select one: a. Always about the statistic only b. Always about both the statistic and the parameter c. Sometimes about the statistic and sometimes about the parameter d. Always about the parameter only

D. Always about the parameter only

An alternative hypothesis is a hypothesis in statistics given contrary to the Null Hypothesis,a Null hypothesis can also be seen in statistics as stating that something is happening among the data.
