A (statistical) hypothesis is an assertion or conjecture about the distribution of one or more random variables. For example, an experimenter may pose the hypothesis that the outcomes from treatment A and treatment B belong to the same population or distribution. If the hypothesis completely specifies the distribution of the random variable, then it is said to be a simple hypothesis. Otherwise, the hypothesis is a composite hypothesis.
