Researchers have suggested that hypothesis testing be replaced with or supplemented by ______.

A) interval estimation
B) descriptive statistics
C) qualitative research
D) bivariate analysis

Interval estimation provides more information than hypothesis testing by giving a range of values within which a population parameter is likely to fall. It also allows for better interpretation and communication of results. Descriptive statistics, qualitative research, and bivariate analysis can be valuable supplements to hypothesis testing, but do not necessarily replace it.
