The null hypothesis of this research is that the gases (helium, nitrogen, argon, and CO2) will have no effect on the football hang time. This study’s alternate hypothesis is if a football is filled with a gas lighter than air (helium and nitrogen), then the football will have a longer hang time; and if a football is filled with a gas heavier than air (argon and CO2), then the football will have a shorter hang time. Since the first experiment results were nullified because of an error in the PSI of

P values evaluate how well the sample data support the argument that the null hypothesis is true. It measures how compatible your data are with the null hypothesis (Frost, 2014). A low P value suggests that your sample provides enough evidence that you can reject the null hypothesis for the entire population. You have to understand the null hypothesis to understand the use of a p-value. P value is the probability of obtaining an effect at least as extreme as the one in your sample data, assuming

characters out of their element” (Classen 133).
