Question

If the p-value = 0.008, what conclusion can be drawn?

Answer 1

Answer: option A is correct, we accept the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a 5% level of significance, p = 0.05, therefore when p < 0.05, accept the null hypothesis (H°) and reject the alternative hypothesis (H¡). When p > 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis (H°) and accept the alternative hypothesis (H¡)

Given the p-value to be 0.008, this is less than the 5% threshold, that is, 0.05, hence we accept the null hypothesis.
