Question

Small p-values _____.

A	give evidence in favor of the null hypothesis.
B	give evidence in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
C	tell us to accept H0.
D	prove the alternative hypothesis to be true.

Consider testing a single mean with the hypotheses H0: μ = 0 versus Ha: μ < 0. If we calculate a test statistic of t = -0.10, then my p-value will be closest to

A	0.03
B	0.07
C	0.46
D	0.80
E	0.95

Answer 1

Small p-values _____.

B	give evidence in favor of the alternative hypothesis.

...we know that if the p-value is small, then we reject the null hypothesis and this means the p-value give evidence in favour of the alternative hypothesis.

Consider testing a single mean with the hypotheses H0: μ = 0 versus Ha: μ < 0. If we calculate a test statistic of t = -0.10, then my p-value will be closest to

C. 0.46

...if the test statistic t value is near to the 0.00, then p-value is near to 0.50. So, the value 0.46 is close to 0.50.
