Answer to Question #140870 in Statistics and Probability for Margaret

Question

Suppose the p-value in a one-tailed test is 0.0092 Based on the same population, sample and null hypothesis the p-value for a corresponding two-tailed test is
1. 0.9908
2. 0.0148
3. 0.0184
4. 0.0018
5. 0.0092

Answer 1

The p-value for a two tailed test is twice the p-value for a one tailed test. Thus, if 0.0092 is the p-value for a I e tailed test, the p-value for a two tailed test is $0.0092×2=0.0184$

Choice 3 is the correct answer.
