The symbols are $H_{0}$ and $H_{1}$.

Work Step by Step

In hypothesis testing, the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis are represented by standard symbols: Null hypothesis: Symbol: $H_0$ Meaning: The statement that there is no effect, no difference, or no relationship. It’s the hypothesis we assume to be true until evidence suggests otherwise. Alternative hypothesis: Symbol:$H_1$ Meaning: The statement that there there is an effect, a difference, or a relationship. It represents what you are trying to provide evidence for.
