Question 10

Multiple Choice

A weight loss centre provided a loss for 72% of its participants.The centre's leader decides to test a new weight loss strategy to see if it's better and receives a P-value of 0.23.What is reasonable to conclude about the new strategy using α = 0.10?


A) There is a 77% chance of the strategies being equally effective.
B) There is a 23% chance of the strategies being equally effective.
C) If the percentage of participants who lose weight has not changed (not increased) ,then there is a 23% chance of seeing the increase in the percentage of participants who lose weight that we observed (or higher) from natural sampling variation.At α = 0.10,we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the new strategy is effective.
D) We can say there is a 23% chance of not seeing the strategies being equally effective in the results we observed from natural sampling variation.We conclude the new strategy is more effective.
E) If the percentage of participants who lose weight has not changed,then there is a 23% chance of seeing the increase in the percentage of participants who lose weight that we observed (or higher) from natural sampling variation.At α = 0.10,we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage has not changed from 72%.There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the new strategy is effective.
