Consider the claim that 60% of the members of a population of bacteria have a plasmid conferring antibiotic resistance. If we collected some random bacterial samples and the P-value of a binomial test was 0.15, what would our conclusion be?
A) We fail to reject the null hypothesis and therefore conclude that the true proportion of bacteria with resistance plasmids differs from 60%.
B) We fail to reject the null hypothesis and therefore conclude that the true proportion of bacteria with resistance plasmids does not differ from 60%.
C) We reject the null hypothesis and therefore conclude that the true proportion of bacteria with resistance plasmids differs from 60%.
D) We reject the null hypothesis and therefore conclude that the true proportion of bacteria with resistance plasmids does not differ from 60%.
