Question

Which of the following p values will lead us to reject the null hypothesis if the level of significance equals .05?

Answer 1

Answer:

So then our significance level is $\alpha=0.05$ and we need to remember these two conditions:

1) If the p value $p_v$ we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at the significance level given

2) If the p value $p_v \geq \alpha$ we have enough evidence to FAIL reject the null hypothesis at the significance level given

And baed on the options we see that the only possibility would be:

d. 0.015

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know for which value we would REJECT the null hypothesis.
