Answer all A, B, C questions

Transcribed Image Text:**P-Value for Hypothesis Testing**
The P-value for a hypothesis test is shown. Use the P-value to decide whether to reject \( H_0 \) when the level of significance is (a) \( \alpha = 0.01 \), (b) \( \alpha = 0.05 \), and (c) \( \alpha = 0.10 \).
**P = 0.0308**
---
**(a) Do you reject or fail to reject \( H_0 \) at the 0.01 level of significance?**
- **A.** Reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is greater than \( \alpha = 0.01 \).
- **B.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is less than \( \alpha = 0.01 \).
- **C.** Reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is less than \( \alpha = 0.01 \).
- **D.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is greater than \( \alpha = 0.01 \).
---
**(b) Do you reject or fail to reject \( H_0 \) at the 0.05 level of significance?**
- **A.** Reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is less than \( \alpha = 0.05 \).
- **B.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is less than \( \alpha = 0.05 \).
- **C.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is greater than \( \alpha = 0.05 \).
- **D.** Reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is greater than \( \alpha = 0.05 \).

**P-value for a Hypothesis Test:**
Use the P-value to decide whether to reject \( H_0 \) (the null hypothesis) when the level of significance is:
- (a) \( \alpha = 0.01 \)
- (b) \( \alpha = 0.05 \)
- (c) \( \alpha = 0.10 \)
**Given:**
\[ P = 0.0308 \]
**Options for decision making:**
1. **For \( \alpha = 0.05 \):**
- **A.** Reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is less than \( \alpha = 0.05 \).
- **B.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is less than \( \alpha = 0.05 \).
- **C.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is greater than \( \alpha = 0.05 \).
- **D.** Reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is greater than \( \alpha = 0.05 \).
2. **For \( \alpha = 0.10 \):**
- **A.** Reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is less than \( \alpha = 0.10 \).
- **B.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is less than \( \alpha = 0.10 \).
- **C.** Fail to reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is greater than \( \alpha = 0.10 \).
- **D.** Reject \( H_0 \) because the P-value, 0.0308, is greater than \( \alpha = 0.10 \).
