The p-value is the         [ Select ]      ["probability you get the sample statistic or more extreme if the null hypothesis is true", "the maximum probability allowed for the sample statistic to be considered unusual"]  .

Question

1. The p-value is the         [ Select ]      ["probability you get the sample statistic or more extreme if the null hypothesis is true", "the maximum probability allowed for the sample statistic to be considered unusual"]  . The p-value is represented by the area in the tail(s) to the extreme of the         [ Select ]      ["critical value(s)", "test statistic(s)"]  .

The significance level, α, is the         [ Select ]      ["the maximum probability allowed for the sample statistic to be considered unusual", "probability you get the sample statistic or more extreme if the null hypothesis is true"]  . The significance level is represented by the area in the tail(s) to the extreme of the         [ Select ]      ["test statistic(s)", "critical value(s)"]  . 

 

To find the         [ Select ]      ["p-value", "significance level"]  , you start with finding the test statistic from the sample. 

To find the critical value(s), you start with the         [ Select ]      ["p-value", "significance level"]  and locate the cut-offs in the z (or t) distribution that cut-off that area in the specified tail(s).
