Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
. In a test of H0:µ = 100 against Ha:µ ≠ 100, a sample of size 10 produces a sample mean of 103 and a P-value of 0.08. Which of the following is true at the 0.05 level of significance?
A
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that µ ≠ 100.
B
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that µ = 100.
C
There is insufficient evidence to conclude that µ = 100.
D
There is insufficient evidence to conclude that µ ≠ 100.
E
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that µ > 103.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a test of H0: µ = 100 against Ha: µ ≠ 100, a sample of size 10 produces a sample mean of 103 and a P-value of 0.08. Which of the following is true at the 0.05 level of significance? There is sufficient evidence to conclude that µ ≠ 100. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that µ = 100.

Detailed explanation-2: -A test’s power can be increased in two ways: by increasing the sample size or by raising the significance level. As a result, increasing the power of a significance test with the help of the sigma’s significance level.
