Select the most accurate answer. A two-sided hypothesis test at a 5% significance level of the mean difference of n pairs of data, results in a test statistic with a p-value of 0.02. The correct interpretation of this p-value and decision of the test is:

  • A.Assuming the null hypothesis is true, the probability of observing data
  • that has given rise to a test statistic value this (or more) extreme is 2%. Therefore we do
  • not reject the null hypothesis at a 5% significance level
  • B.Assuming the null hypothesis is false, the probability of observing data
  • that has given rise to a test statistic value this (or more) extreme is 2%. Therefore we do
  • not reject the null hypothesis at a 5% significance level
  • C.Assuming the null hypothesis is false, the probability of observing data
  • that has given rise to a test statistic value this (or more) extreme is 2%. Therefore we
  • reject the null hypothesis at a 5% significance level
  • D.Assuming the null hypothesis is true, the probability of observing data
  • that has given rise to a test statistic value this (or more) extreme is 2%. Therefore we
  • reject the null hypothesis at a 5% significance level
