=P0.13

, which of the following is the best conclusion?

The probability that

H0

is false is

0.13

.

If

H0

is true, the probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme as or more extreme than the one actually observed is

0.13

.

If

H0

is false, the probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme as or more extreme than the one actually observed is

0.13

.

The probability that

H0

is true is

0.13

.

Answer 1

We know that in statistics, the p-value is the chance of obtaining results as extreme as the observed results of a statistical hypothesis test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct.

So, in other words, p-value is the probability of observing a test statistic, as extreme or more extreme than the one actually observed.

In this problem, it is given that

p-value=0.13.

So, the correct interpretation of the p-value is option (B) If H0 is true, the probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme or more extreme than the one actually observed, is 0.13.
