Question

Which one of the following statements is false?

a. If the p-value is 0.0004, the null hypothesis seems highly likely. With the level of significance, = 0.01.

b. The alternative hypothesis proposes what we should conclude if we find the null hypothesis to be unlikely.

c. A test statistic is used to measure the difference between the observed and what is expected under the alternative hypothesis.

d. If the p-value is 0.0004, there seems to be significance and the null hypothesis does not seem to be highly likely. With the level of significance, = 0.01.

Explanation / Answer

THE ONLY FASE STATEMENT IN THIS IS STATEMENT A BECAUSE WHENEVER THE P VALUE IS LESS THEN THE SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL THE NULL HYPOTHESIS IS REJECTED AS THERE IS NO CHNACE THAT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS WILL BE LIKELY. IN THIS THE P VALUE = 0.0004

WHILE SIGNIFICANCE = 0.01

THEREFORE P VALUE IS LESS AND NULL HYPOTHESIS SHOULD BE REJECTED. HENCE THE STATEMENT IS FALSE
