Suppose for a particular hypothesis test a 008and the P val

Suppose for a particular hypothesis test, a = 0.08and the P value = 0.06. Which of the following statements is false? A. We reject the null hypothesis. B. We fail to reject the null hyppthesis. C. The observed result is \"not unusual\". D. The computed test statistic, z, does fall in the shaded critical region of the tail in the normal curve.

Solution

p-value < alpha => rejection of null hypothesis, here 0.06 < 0.08, so:

A. We reject the null hypothesis

(D) should also be correct because it is equivalent to rejection of null.
