Question

37. Use the following information for questions 37-38: Suppose you conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether or not the average age difference between married couples is less than 5 years.  You conduct this test at the 0.10 significance level and come to the conclusion that 0.01 < p-value < 0.02.

What is the correct decision?

	a.	Fail to Reject the Null Hypothesis
	b.	Reject the Null Hypothesis
	c.	Accept the Null Hypothesis
	d.	Accept the Alternative Hypothesis

Answer 1

Solution:

Significance level is 0.10

Range of p value is 0.01 < p-value < 0.02.

So we can say that

p value is less than the Significance level

In this case , we reject the null hypothesis.

Answer :

Reject the Null Hypothesis

Option b. is correct
