Question

The accompanying table summarizes successes and failures when subjects used different methods when trying to stop smoking. The determination of smoking or not smoking was made five months after the treatment was begun. If we test the claim that success is independent of the method used, the technology provides a P-value of 0.162 (rounded). What does the P-value tell us about that claim?

Explanation / Answer

We know that if the P-value is less than the significance level then we reject the null hypothesis otherwise we fail to reject null hypothesis.

Here P-value of 0.162 is greater than 0.05( the usual significance level) so we fail to reject null hypothesis that success is independent of the method used.

So the choice of treatment is not correct
