Question

In a hypothesis test, if the computed P-value is greater than a specified level of significance, then we a) reject the null hypothesis. b) fail to reject the null hypothesis. c) retest with a different sample

Answer 1

If the p-value is greater than the level of significance (alpha), then you fail to reject the null hypothesis (H0). This is like saying we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis so we effectively accept it for now. 

Answer is choice B) fail to reject the null hypothesis
