The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures the motivation, attitude, and study habits of college students. Scores range from 0 to 200 and follow (approximately) a Normal distribution with a mean of 115 and a standard deviation of 25. You suspect that incoming freshmen at your school have a mean μ, which is different from 115 because they are often excited yet anxious about entering college. To test your suspicion, you decide to test the hypotheses H0: μ = 115 versus Ha: μ ≠ 115. In testing these hypotheses, which of the following would be strong evidence against the null hypothesis? A) obtaining data with a large p-value B) using a small level of significance C) using a large level of significance D) obtaining data with a small p-value
