Question 1109289: Which one of the following best defines the notion of "the P-value of a hypothesis test?"
A)The probability of a type I error.
B)The probability of a type II error.
C)The probability of rejecting H0, whether it's true or not.
D)The probability of obtaining a test statistic at least as extreme as the one you calculated, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

p-value is the probability of a Type I error, or alpha.
It is the probability of rejecting Ho given that Ho is true.
It is the probability of finding a result you found or one more extreme.
