A college chemistry instructor thinks the use of embedded tutors will improve the success rate in introductory chemistry courses. The passing rate for introductory
chemistry is 73%. During one semester, 200 students were enrolled in introductory chemistry courses with an embedded tutor. Of these 200 students, 159 passed
course. The instructor carried out a hypothesis test and found that the observed value of the test statistic was 2.07. The p-value associated with this test statistic is
0.0192. Explain the meaning of the p-value in this context. Based on this result, should the instructor believe the success rate has improved?
Explain the meaning of the p-value in this context. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box within your choice.
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
OA. The probability of 159 or more introductory chemistry students passing out of a random sample of 200 students is
greater than 0.73.
OB. The probability of 159 or fewer introductory chemistry students passing out of a random sample of 200 students is
is 0.73.
OC. The probability of 159 or fewer introductory chemistry students passing out of a random sample of 200 students is
is less than 0.73.
assuming the population proportion is
assuming the population proportion
assuming the population proportion
OD. The probability of 159 or more introductory chemistry students passing out of a random sample of 200 students is, assuming the population proportion is
0.73.
In this situation, the p-value ▼ small, so the instructor
believe the success rate has improved.
