Suppose you have a two sided hypothesis test, Ha: ? ? ?0 with a test statistic z=2.70. Determine the p-value and give the decision of this test. Use a 5% level of significance.
a) P-value of 0.0035, reject the null hypothesis.
b) P-value of 0.0035, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
c) P-value of 0.9931, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
d) P-value of 0.0069, reject the null hypothesis.
The p-value of a two sided test is given by
or
In this case as test statistics is greater than 0, we will use the first formula to find p-value. The second formula in this case will give a p-value greater than 1, which is not possible.
As the p-value is less than 0.05, we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
d) P-value of 0.0069, reject the null hypothesis.
