Suppose we are testing the hypotheses H0 : u=100 versus Ha : u<100. Which sample mean will have the smaller p-value, X bar=90 or X bar=85? Select all that apply. Assume std. Deviation is the same.
\n" ); document.write( "A. X bar=85 will have a smaller p-value because it's furthest from (null) u0=100
\n" ); document.write( "B. X bar=90 will have a smaller p-value because it's closer to (null) u0=100
\n" ); document.write( "C. X bar=85 will have a smaller p-value because it provides more support for Ha.
\n" ); document.write( "D. X bar= 90 will have a smaller p-value because it provides more support for Ha.
\n" ); document.write( "*it can be any combination of the following answers, more than 1 may be right
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: C
\n" ); document.write( "Because the left tail of x-bar = 85 is smaller then
\n" ); document.write( "the left-tail of 90.
