A hypothesis test was done on the mean cost of textbooks at UVA in a given semester. the null and alternative hypotheses were H0: μ=$220 and H1: μ < 220. A sample of 49 UVA students showed a mean of $212, and a P-value of 0.092 was calculated. The P-value is:
a) The probability of making the wrong decision
b) The probability that the true value is $212
C) The probability that if the true value is $220 we will have a sample mean of $212 or less
d) The probability that if the true value is $220 we will have a sample mean that is equal to $212
e) The probability that the true value is $220
Ans :
d) The probability that if the true value is $220 we will have a sample mean that is equal to $212
