For which of the following p-values of a test statistic is a null hypothesis likely to be rejected? Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
A null hypothesis is rejected when the p-value is small, typically below the point zero five level, so the tiny values qualify.
Two percent of zero point three eight equals about zero point zero zero seven six, well below the threshold, so the null is rejected.
Two percent equals zero point zero two, also below the threshold, again leading to rejection.
Thirty eight percent equals zero point three eight, far above the threshold, so the null is retained.
The value zero point four six is likewise much larger than the threshold and gives no grounds for rejection.
A smaller p-value indicates stronger evidence against the null hypothesis.
