A chi-square goodness-of-fit test where all assumptions were met yielded the test statistic χ2=12.4χ2=12.4. Henry claims the corresponding pp–value of 0.03 means that the probability of observing a test statistic of χ2=12.4χ2=12.4 is 0.03, assuming the null hypothesis is true. Which of the following is a valid criticism of this interpretation of the pp–value?
