Question

Which of the following does NOT need to be known in order to compute the p-value?a.knowledge of whether the test is one-tailed or two-tailedb.the value of the test statisticc.the level of significanced.All three pieces of information above are needed to compute a p-value

Answer 1

c. the level of significance

Step-by-step explanation

We want to identify the correct option.

In order to calculate the p-value, we need to know whether the test is one-tailed or two-tailed and the knowledge of the test statistics.

After the p-value is determined, it is then compared to the level of significance to determine whether the null hypothesis is rejected or not.

Therefore, to compute the p-value, the level of significance does not need to be known.

The correct answer is option c.
