1. Suppose you were to explain to a person who has not yet studied statistics that a statistical test has just resulted in the rejection of the null hypothesis that a population mean u is equal to 0. That is, Ho: H = 0. has been rejected, say, at the 5 percent level of significance. Which of the following is a more accurate statement? (a) The evidence of the data indicated that the population mean differs significantly from 0. (b) The evidence of the data was significant enough to indicate that the population mean differs from 0.
