问题如下:
In the steps of hypothesis testing, which of the following descriptions on the statistically significant result is most accurate?
选项:
A.When we test the null hypothesis, the caculated value of the test statistic is less extreme than a given value.
B.When we accept the null hypothesis, we can get a statistically significant result.
C.When we reject the null hypothesis, the result is statistically significant.
解释:
C is correct. When we test the null hypothesis, if we find that the calculated value of the test statistic is as extreme or more extreme than a give value or values determined by the specified level of sigificance, we reject the null hypothesis, we say the result is statistically significant.
请问A选项错在哪?是不是错在当我们test,可能有两个结果(大于或小于临界值,并不一定像选项说的小于)?
另外请问given value一定指临界点吗?如果given value指临界值,是有可能正有可能负还是指绝对值?
