Answer:

Yes, we must focus on p-value along with the alpha level

Explanation:

Alpha and P values are provides two different set of information. While on one hand alpha values sets an extreme value set before rejecting the hypothesis, P value determines the extremeness of the values in the data set. Thus, if p values is lesser than or equal to alpha value, the null hypothesis is rejected, If p value is greater than alpha value, then the null hypothesis is not rejected.

Answer:

The maximum height the box will reach is 1.72 m

Explanation:

F = k·x

Where

F = Force of the spring

k = The spring constant = 300 N/m

x = Spring compression or stretch = 0.15 m

Therefore the force, F of the spring = 300 N/m×0.15 m = 45 N

Mass of box = 0.2 kg

Work, W, done by the spring = $\frac{1}{2} kx^2$ and the kinetic energy gained by the box is given by KE = $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Since work done by the spring = kinetic energy gained by the box we have

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ = $\frac{1}{2} kx^2$ therefore we have v = $\sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} }$ = $x\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$ = $0.15\sqrt{\frac{300}{0.2} }$ = 5.81 m/s
