The student says, "There is a 0.044 probability of getting the sample result I did by chance alone." What did the student do wrong in their explanation? The student forgot to include the condition and the direction in their interpretation. The student forgot to state the conditional probability. The student forgot to make a decision about the null hypothesis. The student forgot to include a directional range of values. O The student did nothing wrong.
