CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 92

Under which of the following circumstances should the null hypothesis be accepted when α = 0.05?

Answer options

• A. When p is 0.00003
• B. When p is 0.001
• C. When p is 0.04
• D. When p is 0.06

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The null hypothesis should be accepted if the p-value is greater than α. Since D has a p-value of 0.06, which exceeds the threshold of 0.05, it indicates insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. In contrast, A, B, and C have p-values lower than 0.05, suggesting that the null hypothesis should be rejected in those cases.
