A Table Summarizes the Success and Failures When Subjects Used

question 52

Multiple Choice

A table summarizes the success and failures when subjects used different methods (yoga, acupuncture, and chiropractor) to relieve back pain. If we test the claim at a 5% level of significance that success is independent of the method used, technology provides a P-value
Of 0.0355. What does the P-value tell us about the claim?

• A) Since the P-value of 0.0355 is greater than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis of
• Independence between the treatment and whether the subject stops experiencing back
• Pain. This suggests that the choice of treatment does appear to make a difference.
• B) Since the P-value of 0.0355 is lower than 0.05, we fail to the null hypothesis of
• Independence between the treatment and whether the subject stops experiencing back
• Pain. This suggests that the choice of treatment does not appear to make a difference.
• C) Since the P-value of 0.0355 is lower than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis of
• Independence between the treatment and whether the subject stops experiencing back
• Pain. This suggests that the choice of treatment does not appear to make a difference.
• D) Since the P-value of 0.0355 is lower than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis of
• Independence between the treatment and whether the subject stops experiencing back
• Pain. This suggests that the choice of treatment does appear to make a difference.
