p-value 0. 182 (0. 181781 …) A1
0. 182 > 0. 05 R1
hence insufficient evidence to reject H0 (that the manufacturers claims are correct) A1
Note: The R1A1 can be awarded as follow through within part (d) from their (explicitly labelled)
incorrect p-value.
An unrealistic p-value (p ≥ 1) should preclude awarding the final R1A1.
Accept either a conclusion to not reject the null hypothesis or the manufacturers claims are correct.
Do not award R0A1.
