A P-value is always computed assuming that

Select one:

a. the null hypothesis may be true.

b. the alternative hypothesis may be true.

c. the null hypothesis is true.

d. the alternative hypothesis is true.

Solution

A P-value is always computed assuming that

Select one:

a. the null hypothesis may be true.

b. the alternative hypothesis may be true.

c. the null hypothesis is true.

d. the alternative hypothesis is true.

The correct answer is c. the null hypothesis is true.

The P value is computed assuming the null hypothesis is true. In other words, the P value is computed based on the assumption that the difference was due to sampling error.
