Francisco was testing H0:μ=10H_{0}: \mu=10 versus Ha:μ>10H_{\mathrm{a}}: \mu>10 with a sample of 6 observations. His test statistic was t=1.952t=1.952. Assume that the conditions for inference were met.

What is the approximate P-value for Francisco's test?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) 0.10<0.10< P-value <0.15<0.15
(B) 0.05<0.05< P-value <0.10<0.10
(C) 0.01<0.01< P-value <0.05<0.05
(D) P-value <0.01<0.01

Solution by Steps
step 2
Using the t-distribution table or a calculator with statistical functions, we find the area to the right of t=1.952 t = 1.952 for 5 degrees of freedom. This area represents the p-value for a one-tailed test
step 3
The p-value is the probability that the t-statistic would be as extreme as, or more extreme than, the observed value under the null hypothesis. Since the alternative hypothesis is μ>10 \mu > 10 , we are conducting a right-tailed test
step 4
The p-value corresponding to t=1.952 t = 1.952 with 5 degrees of freedom is between 0.05 and 0.10
B
Key Concept
p-value and t-distribution
Explanation
The p-value is found by looking up the t-statistic in a t-distribution table with the appropriate degrees of freedom for a one-tailed test. It represents the probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme as, or more extreme than, the observed value if the null hypothesis is true.
