Define and compare the individualistic hypothesis of H. A. Gleason and the interactive hypothesis of EE. Clements with respect to communities.

Methodological individualism is a method widely used in the social sciences, argues that all social phenomena - structure and changes - are in principle explainable by individual elements, that is, by the properties of individuals, such as their goals, their beliefs And his actions. Its defenders see it as a philosophy-method aimed at explaining and broadly understanding the evolution of the whole society as the aggregate of the decisions of individuals. In principle it is a reductionism, that is, a reduction of the explanation of all the large entities with references in the smaller ones.

Methodological individualism denies that a collective is an autonomous organism that makes decisions, and demands that the social sciences base their theories on individual action. 1 This idea has also been used to attack, among other ideas, historicism, functionalism structuralist, 'sociologism' or belief that social class functions, gender roles, or ethnicity as determinants of individual behavior

Hypothesis tests are statistical procedures that evaluate two mutually exclusive statements about a population.

These two statements are called the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. They are always stated about the attributes of the population, such as the value of a parameter, the difference between the corresponding parameters of various populations or the type of distribution that best describes the population. A hypothesis test uses sample data to determine which statement is best supported by the data.

A hypothesis test can answer questions such as the following:

Is the average time to complete a Tangram game less than 2 minutes?

Is the average completion time of a different game for men and women?

Do science and engineering students complete games faster than other students?
