Question

What is the definition of the p-value? Group of answer choices the probability that we would see a test statistic this extreme or more if the null hypothesis were true. the probability that we would see a test statistic this extreme or more if the alternative hypothesis were true. the probability that the alternative hypothesis is true. the probability that the null hypothesis is true.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option a is right

the probability that we would see a test statistic this extreme or more if the null hypothesis were true.

Step-by-step explanation:

In hypothesis testing we fix null and alternate hypothesis.  The conclusion of the test depends on the p value of the test.

The p value also known as probability value is the estimated probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true.

It can be said the extreme value i.e. if p value is atleast this much we accept null hypothesis.

Hence out of the options given correct choice is

the probability that we would see a test statistic this extreme or more if the null hypothesis were true.
