There are Important Factors That Influence the P-Value

Question

There are important factors that influence the p-value.These may include:
A) Variability of the effect
B) Sample size
C) The null hypothesis
D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

The p-value is influenced by the variability of the effect, which is typically measured by the standard deviation or the standard error of the estimate. Additionally, the p-value is influenced by the sample size, with larger samples typically producing smaller p-values. The null hypothesis can also potentially influence the p-value if it is incorrectly specified or if the test assumptions are violated. Therefore, A and B are the correct choices.
