Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -False. A small p-value means the value of the statistic we observed in the sample is unlikely to have occurred when the null hypothesis is true.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the p-value is small, it suggests that the differences are probably not due to sampling error. In other words, very small p-values suggest that we reject the null hypothesis and instead accept the alternative hypothesis, i.e., that the means are probably different.
