Question
In hypothesis testing, does choosing between the critical value method or the P-value method affect your conclusion? Explain. Choose the correct answer below. o A. O B. O C. Yes, because the critical value method is more accurate than the P-value method. Yes, because the critical value method uses critical value(s) to identify the rejection region(s). The P-value method compares the P-value with the level of significance . No, because both methods involve comparing the standardized test statistic with the rejection region(s) D. Yes, because the P-value method is more accurate than the critical value method E. No, because both involve comparing the test statistic's probability with the level of significance.Explanation / Answer
No both the methods always gives the same result because both of them ultimately involves comparing the test statistic's probability with the level of significance. In critical value method we compute the critical value with the level of significance only and in p-value method, we compare the p-value with the level of significance.
Therefore E is the correct answer here.
