Question

If the p-value for a hypothesis test is 0.07 and the allowed probability of making a Type I error is 0.05, then the correct decision is to O reject the null hypothesis only if it is a one-tailed test. O not reject the null hypothesis. O reject the null hypothesis. O not reject the null hypothesis only if it a two-tailed test.

Answer 1

Decision rule : if p-value $\leq$ a ( level of significance) we reject the null hypothesis otherwise we fail to reject the null hypothesis

The type I error is level of significance a = 0.05

p-value = 0.07 > 0.05

Decision : not reject the null hypothesis
