6. [1 point] Suppose you were testing the hypotheses H0: μ = 0 and Ha: μ is not equal to 0 in a paired design and obtain a p-value of 0.02. Also suppose you computed confidence intervals for μ. Based on the p-value which of the following are true?
a. Both a 95% CI and a 99% CI will contain 0.
b. A 95% CI will contain 0, but a 99% CI will not.
c. A 95% CI will not contain 0, but a 99% CI will.
d. Neither a 95% CI nor a 99% CI interval will contain 0.
Option C) A 95% CI will not contain 0, but a 99% CI will. is the answer.
When we take 95% CI then level of significance is 0.05 so p < hence we need to reject null hypothesis. So, 0 is not a part of CI.
When we take 99% CI then level of significance is 0.01 so p > hence we fail to reject null hypothesis. So, 0 is part of CI.
Please comment if any doubt. Thank you.
