Question

If, in a (two-tail) hypothesis test, the p-value is 0.1062 , what is your statistical decision if you test the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance? Choose the correct answer below?

A. Since the p-value is greater than α, do not reject H 0
​
. B. Since the p-value is greater than α, reject H 0
​
. C. Since the p-value is less than α, reject H 0
​
. D. Since the p-value is less than α, do not reject H 0
​

Answer 1

In a hypothesis test, if the p-value (0.1062) is greater than the alpha level (0.05), the decision would be not to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

If in a two-tail hypothesis test, the p-value is 0.1062, and you are testing the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance, you should compare the p-value to the alpha level (0.05 in this case). Since 0.1062 is greater than 0.05, the decision would be to not reject the null hypothesis. The correct answer is A. Since the p-value is greater than α, do not reject H0.
