b. using a small level of significance.
c. using a large level of significance.
d. obtaining data with a large p-value.
e. obtaining data with a small p-value.

Respuesta :

Answer:

e. obtaining data with a small p-value.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the null hypothesis, we test if the mean respects certain condition, and on the alternate hypothesis, we test the opposite of the null hypothesis.

The decision depends on the pvalue:

If the pvalue is smaller than the level of significance, that is, the pvalue has small values, the null hypothesis is rejected, that is, it is strong evidence against the null hypothesis. Large pvalues do not give evidence against the null hypothesis.

So the correct answer is given by option e.
