We would like you to evaluate whether there is an associatio

We would like you to evaluate whether there is an association between whether a superhero was teased as a child and their number of lab visits per month.

what would be the alternative and null hypotheses?

if the p-value was .72 would we reject or accept the null and would this mean there was or wasn\'t an association between the two variables?

Solution

what would be the alternative and null hypotheses?

Ho : there is an association between whether a superhero was teased as a child and their number of lab visits per month.

H1: there is not an association between whether a superhero was teased as a child and their number of lab visits per month.

if the p-value was .72 would we reject or accept the null and would this mean there was or wasn\'t an association between the two variables?

that would be depend of your alpha ( significance level)

if significance level is 0.05

you will fail to reject Ho because P value is greater than 0.05/2 = 0.025

that means that there was an association between the 2 variables
