Alternative HypothesesAlternative Hypotheses
• H1, the “beneficial” hypothesis. The average effect of seeding is to reduce maximum sustained wind speed.
• H2, the “null” hypothesis. Seeding has no effect on hurricanes. No change is induced in maximum sustained wind speed.
• H3, the “detrimental” hypothesis. The average effect of seeding is to increase the maximum sustained wind speed.
