Question

You perform a test of significance, using the hypotheses H?: ? ? 5 VS. H?: ? > 5 . If you obtain a p-value of 0.043, what will be your decision at 5% level of significance and why? Fail to reject the null hypothesis because p-value < 0.05 Reject the alternative because p-value < 0.05 Reject the null hypothesis because p-value < 0.05 Reject the null hypothesis because p-value > 0.05 Accept the null hypothesis because p-value < 0.05

Fail to reject the null hypothesis because p-value < 0.05
Reject the alternative because p-value < 0.05
Reject the null hypothesis because p-value < 0.05
Reject the null hypothesis because p-value > 0.05
