null hypothesis: there is no association between having a pet and depression 

alternative hypothesis: having a pet can decrease a person's chances of getting depression ]]> 2021-10-09 23:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/collinshershie/60xo9ym3mfe5ddrt/wish/1804660685 collinshershie https://padlet.com/collinshershie/60xo9ym3mfe5ddrt/wish/1804665033 Some skills I have learned in class are:
