TESTS OF SIGNIFICANCE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A significance test was performed to test the null hypothesis H0:µ = 2 versus the alternative Ha:µ ≠ 2. A sample of size 28 produced a test statistic is t = 2.051. Assuming all conditions for inference were met, which of the following intervals contains the P-value for this test?
A
P < 0.01
B
0.01≤ P < 0.02
C
0.02 ≤ P < 0.025
D
0.025 ≤ P < 0.05
E
0.05 ≤ P < 0.10
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following best describes the significance level of a test H0: µ = 1 vs. HA: µ > 1? The probability that the test REJECTS H0 when µ = 1 is true.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypothesis testing is the process of making a choice between two conflicting hypotheses. The null hypothesis, H0, is a statistical proposition stating that there is no significant difference between a hypothesized value of a population parameter and its value estimated from a sample drawn from that population.
