Modeling is not part of hypothesis testing.

Explanation:

Hypothesis testing is an essential procedure in statistics. A hypothesis test evaluates two mutually exclusive statements about a population to determine which statement is best supported by the sample data. When we say that a finding is statistically significant, it's thanks to a hypothesis test.

Steps in testing hypothesis

1. State the hypotheses. Every hypothesis test requires the analyst to state a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. ...

2. Formulate an analysis plan. The analysis plan describes how to use sample data to accept or reject the null hypothesis. ...

3. Analyze sample data. ...

4. interpret the results

the correct answer is 2.

a slump in geology means a mass movement process of slope failure. a mass of rock or unconsolidated material drops along a slip surface. in other words, rock layers move a short distance down the slope. the slump block is an intact block (2), without any landslide material.

in this image, 1 is the surface of rapture (scarp), 2 the slump block, 3 main scarp (crown), 4 base of rapture with debris flow.

slumps are caused by clear cutting on unstable soils and the sagging of earth, in coastal areas they are due to wave infiltration.

what's this it's not giving you what have to do.
