If P 001 what is the best conclusion a Ho is definitely fal

If P = 0.01, what is the best conclusion? (a) Ho is definitely false. (b) Ho is definitely true. (c) There is a 1% probability that Ho is true. (d) Ho might be true, but it is unlikely. (e) Ho might be false, but it is unlikely. (f) Ho is plausible. Explain your answer.

Solution

d) Ho might be true, but it is unlikely.

p-value is too small, it means that it is unlikely to get such a sample if H0 was true. Therefore we reject H0.
