Greetings,
I'm rather new to R, and only just subscribed to the mailing list.

I have run into a strange result in a t-test. The data represents the the hypothetical differences obtained for a t-test for dependent samples.

All the numeric output looks OK, but the statement that the alternative hypothesis is accepted seems rather strange.


It doesn't say which hypothesis is accepted - the printed output just helps remind you what the alternative hypothesis is. In this case, a p-value of 0.73 means you would be really, really safe sticking with the null hypothesis.


Cheers
