What is the probability of getting a sample that extreme (thathigh, that low, or that far from the mean) given the nullhypothesis is true called?
P-value
Type 1 error
Type 2 error
Power
For a hypothesis test, we want to see if the mean height of asample of 50 people is greater than the population mean. Thepopulation’s mean height is 67 inches, and the sample’s mean heightis 70 inches. We get a p-value of .10. What does this mean?
10% of the sample is greater than the mean
The probability of the null hypothesis being true is .10.
The sample has a 10% greater height than the population.
In a population with a mean height of 67 inches, the probabilityof getting a sample of 50 people with a height of 70 or more is.10.
