Answer 2

Answer;

B. both a non-directional and directional hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation;

A two-tailed test is the standard test of significance to determine if there is a relationship between variables in either direction. Two-tailed tests do this by dividing the .05 in two and putting half on each side of the bell curve.

A non-directional hypothesis is a type of alternative hypothesis used in statistical significance testing. In contrast, a directional alternative hypothesis specifies the direction of the tested relationship, stating that one variable is predicted to be larger or smaller than null value, but not both.
