which of the following facts about the p - value of a test is correct?

c. the larger the p - value, the more evidence the data provide against h₀.

Explanation:

In hypothesis - testing, if the p - value is less than the significance level ($\alpha$), we reject the null hypothesis ($H_0$). A p - value of 0.01 may not be enough to reject $H_0$ if $\alpha$ is set to a smaller value like 0.001. Also, a larger p - value means less evidence against $H_0$.

Answer:

B. A p - value smaller than the significance level provides enough evidence to reject $H_0$.
