When asked to explain the meaning of the Pvalue was P 003 a

When asked to explain the meaning of \"the P-value was P = 0.03,\" a student says, \"This means there is only probability 0.03 that the null hypothesis is true.\"
Explain what P = 0.03 really means in a way that makes it clear that the student\'s explanation is wrong.

A.	P = 0.03 means that the outcome is at least 3% higher among one group than among the other group.
B.	P = 0.03 means that there is a probability of 0.03 that the null hypothesis is false.
C.	P = 0.03 means that the probability, assuming the null hypothesis is true, that the test statistic will take a value at least as extreme as that actually observed, is 0.03.
D.	P = 0.03 means that the probability, assuming the null hypothesis is true, that the test statistic will take a value at least as extreme as that actually observed, is less than 0.03.

P=0.03 really means that the probability, assuming the null hypothesis is true, that the test statistic will take a value at least as extreme as that actually observed, is 0.03. Thus, the student
