A popular musician believes an increase in the number of times songs are listened to via a streaming service leads to an increase in recording sales. The musician’s recording company selected 50 songs at random and used the data to test the claim that there is a positive linear relationship between the number of times a song is listened to and recording sales. The following hypotheses were used to test the claim.
H0:β1=0
Ha:β1>0
The test yielded a t-value of 1.592 with a corresponding p-value of 0.059. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the p-value?
A. If the alternative hypothesis is true, the probability of observing a test statistic of 1.592 or smaller is 0.059.
B. If the alternative hypothesis is true, the probability of observing a test statistic of 1.592 or greater is 0.059.
C. If the null hypothesis is true, the probability of observing a test statistic of 1.592 or greater is 0.059.

H0:β1=0
Ha:β1≠0
The test yielded a t-value of 1.95 and a p-value of 0.08. Which of the following is a correct conclusion about the magazine’s claim?
