Question

when testing with α = 0.01 you get p = 0.12. your decision should be
accept ho, there is not a significant difference
reject ho, there is not a significant difference
reject ho, there is a significant difference
accept ho, there is a significant difference

Explanation:

Step1: Compare α and p - value

In hypothesis testing, if \( p - value\geq\alpha \), we accept the null hypothesis (\(H_0\)). Here, \(\alpha = 0.01\) and \(p = 0.12\).
Since \(0.12\geq0.01\)

Answer:

Accept \(H_0\), there is NOT a significant difference
