Question

Is the null hypothesis rejected or not rejected for an observed p-value of at 0.07 at a significance level of 0.05? Group of answer choices

A) Reject null hypothesis
B) Do not reject null hypothesis
C) Not enough information

Answer 1

Answer: B) Do not reject null hypothesis

Explanation:

When p-value is less than the significance level then we reject the null hypothesis
`(H_0)`.

When p-value is greater than or equal to the significance level then we fail to reject the null hypothesis
`(H_0)`.

Given : P-value = 0.07

Significance level = 0.05

Clearly , 0.07> 0.05

i.e. P-value > Significance level

⇒ We fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, the correct answer is : B) Do not reject null hypothesis
