What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


0.0053

Explain what the p-value means for this problem.

If H is false, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic
0
will be equal to or greater than the calculated value.

If H is true, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic
0
will be equal to or less than the calculated value.

If H is false, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic
0
will be equal to or less than the calculated value.

If H is true, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic
0
will be equal to or greater than the calculated value.

Correct! A p-value is the probability that an outcome of the data will happen purely by chance when H is
0
