Detailed explanation-1: -A test of H0: µ=60 versus Ha: µ≠60 produces a sample mean of x-bar = 58 and a P-value of 0.04. At an = 0.05 level, which of the following is an appropriate conclusion? There is sufficient evidence to conclude that µ < 60.
Detailed explanation-2: -P > 0.05 is the probability that the null hypothesis is true. 1 minus the P value is the probability that the alternative hypothesis is true. A statistically significant test result (P ≤ 0.05) means that the test hypothesis is false or should be rejected. A P value greater than 0.05 means that no effect was observed.
Detailed explanation-3: -The p value is a number, calculated from a statistical test, that describes how likely you are to have found a particular set of observations if the null hypothesis were true. P values are used in hypothesis testing to help decide whether to reject the null hypothesis.
