Answer all A, B, C questions
**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 \( \alpha = 0.10 \).
