(a) Define and explain the key components introduced by Fisher in specifying his significance testing.

(b) Apply a Fisher significance test for H0: θ = .5, in the context of a simple Bernoulli model, using the new births data for Cyprus below, where θ = P(X = 1), with

{X = 1} = {male}.

(c) “The p-value could not provide an evidential account for Fisher’s testing because it is vulnerable to the large n problem.” Discuss
