A) If the percentage of obese Canadians has not changed,then there is a 2.8% chance of seeing the increase in the percentage of obese Canadians that we observed (or higher) from natural sampling variation.There is no evidence the percentage of obese Canadians has increased since 2004,but we cannot conclude the percentage hasn't increased.
B) There is a 97.2% chance that the percentage of obese Canadians has increased since 2004.
C) There is a 2.8% chance that the percentage of obese Canadians has increased since 2004.
D) If the percentage of obese Canadians has not changed,then there is a 2.8% chance of seeing the increase in the percentage of obese Canadians that we observed (or higher) from natural sampling variation.There is strong evidence that the percentage of obese Canadians has increased since 2004.
E) We can say there is a 2.8% chance that the percentage of obese Canadians has increased in the results we observed from natural sampling variation.We conclude that the percentage of obese Canadians has not increased since 2004.
