Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The null hypothesis is rarely true, as it assumes that there is no relationship between variables, and in reality, there is often at least some degree of relationship. The other options are incorrect. The null hypothesis is not directional but non-directional, and a smaller p value indicates stronger evidence against the null hypothesis rather than a stronger relationship between variables. Additionally, a p value does not give information about substantive or clinical significance, but rather only indicates the likelihood of obtaining the observed results if the null hypothesis were true.
