Chapter 9, Problem 2CR

Terminology Answer each of the following statements true or false regarding the P-value of a sample test statistic.

(i) The P-value for a sample test statistic is set in advance before samples are drawn.

(ii)The P-value of a sample test statistic depends on the alternate hypothesis.

(iii)The P-value of a sample test statistic depends on the sample size.

(iv)If the P-value of a sample test statistic is smaller than the level of significance. we are absolutely certain that the null hypothesis is false.

(v) Under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true, the P-value tells us how likely we are to get a sample statistics from another random sample of the same size as extreme or more extreme than the test statistic used to compute the P-value.
