Arrange the following p-values from lower level to higher level of significance: Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1.0001
2.01
3.05
4.001
5.5
A1, 2, 4, 3, 5
B1, 4, 2, 3, 5
C5, 3, 2, 4, 1 ✓ Correct
D5, 3, 4, 2, 1
Correct answer: (C) 5, 3, 2, 4, 1
Explanation
Ordered from lower to higher significance, the p-values run 0.5, 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001.
The largest p-value of 0.5 marks the lowest level of significance, so it comes first.
The value 0.0001 marks the highest level of significance and therefore comes last.
Any order beginning with 0.0001 reverses the required direction of significance.
The sequence five, three, two, four, one captures this rising significance correctly.
A smaller p-value indicates stronger evidence against the null hypothesis.
