Independent random samples were selected from two population

Independent random samples were selected from two populations with unknown variances produced the following data. The expert calculated a P-value = .075 for the study and used = .05. Which one of the following actions can the expert take to make the observed difference significant?

A Lower the p-value. B Raise the p-value. C Lower . D Raise .

Solution

Actually p-value is more than 0.05, so it is not significant right now. But if we choose an alpha-level more than p-value (which is immoral after looking at p-value), the result will become \"significant\". Note that p-value came from the sample, we cannot change it it as we desire.
