Answer 1

Answer: If a t-test was conducted with an alpha level of .01 (99% confidence), which of the following p-values would cause the null hypothesis to fail to be rejected?

Solution:

If the P- value is greater than or equal to α do not reject the null hypothesis.

If the P- value is less than α reject the null hypothesis

At α = 0.01 significance level

Since all first three options are less than α= 0.01

P-value = 0.14 is greater than α 0.01.

Therefore, the last option is correct answer.

P-value (0.14) would cause the null hypothesis to fail to be rejected.
