The p-value of a statistical hypothesis test refers to :

  • A.Power
  • B.Practicality
  • C.Probability
  • D.Parametric

Answer: C

The p-value refers to probability.

The p-value is the probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme as the one observed, assuming the null hypothesis is true. A small p-value, for example below 0.05, is taken as evidence against the null hypothesis.

Power is the probability of correctly rejecting a false null hypothesis, which is a different quantity. Practicality and 'parametric' have nothing to do with the p in p-value.
