Null hypothesis: increase in temperature have no effect on the frequency of flying insects

Alternative hypothesis: increase in temperature have effect on the frequency of flying insects

A hypothesis is a statement that explains the prediction and reasoning of your research and education

guess about how scientific experiment will end

Null hypothesis suggests that there is no relationship between variables and is abbreviated as H0

Alternative hypothesis suggests that what is opposite of the null hypothesis, and is abbreviated as H1

According to the hypothesis it is true that the increase in temperature increase the number of flying

insects. This is because, when the temperature is 220 the number of insects flying is 11, but when the

temperature increases the number of flying insects increase also, until the last temperature, which is 280 to

flying insect number of 36.

The reason of increase in temperature causes increase in flying insect is because, insects are cold

blooded, and their metabolism and activity is very greatly influenced by the temperature of their bodies, when

temperature is almost entirely dependent to that of the surrounding environment. The lower temperature inhibits

the activity of the insects, and high temperature usually stimulates the animal. This explains the results
