question. * 8.16 True/False Test A teacher giving a true/false test wants to make sure her students do better than they would if they were simply guessing, so she forms a hypothesis to test this. Her null hypothesis is that a student will get 50% of the questions on the exam correct. The alternative hypothesis is that the student is not guessing and should get more than 50% in the long run. H0: p = 0.50 Ha: P > 0.50 A student gets 30 out of 50 questions, or 60%, correct. The p-value is 0.079. Explain the meaning of the p-value in the context of this question.

Solution

Since p-value 0.079 > 0.05 , we accept the null hypothesis.
