A test of H₀: p = 0.4 vs Hₐ: p ≠ 0.4 yields p-value = 0.08 with α = 0.05.
Which conclusion is appropriate?
- A
Accept H₀; p equals 0.4.
- Bcheck_circle
Fail to reject H₀; insufficient evidence that p ≠ 0.4.
- C
Cannot determine without more data.
- D
Reject H₀; convincing evidence that p ≠ 0.4.
Explanation
Since 0.08 > 0.05, fail to reject H₀. There is not convincing evidence that p ≠ 0.4.
