H0: Both Forecasts have the same accuracy
H1: The forecasts do not have the same accuracy

<0.05, reject null, accept alternative hypothesis

H0: Forecast 1 is more accurate than Forecast 2
H1: Forecast 1 is less accurate than forecast 2

<0.05, reject null, accept alternative hypothesis

<Prob
H0: Forecast 2 is less accurate than Forecast 1
