Teachers receiving holistic stress reduction training will have significantly lower levels of stress when compared to teachers who do not receive such training. Teachers receiving holistic stress reduction training will have significantly higher levels of stress when compared to teachers who do not receive such training.

	Which of the following describes a null hypothesis?   Teachers receiving holistic stress reduction training will be less stressed than teachers who do not receive such training. There will be no difference in the stress scores of teachers receiving holistic stress reduction training and those not receiving such training. Teachers receiving holistic stress reduction training will score significantly lower on a stress test than teachers who do not receive such training. Teachers receiving holistic stress reduction training will score significantly higher on a stress test than teachers who do not receive such training.

	The following hypothesis was tested: Teachers receiving holistic stress reduction training will demonstrate lower levels of stress than teachers who do not receive such training. The results of the study indicated teachers receiving the training had lower levels of stress. Which of the following BEST describes these results?   The results support the hypothesis.
