, Which of the following are true statements? I. The P-value of a test is the probability of obtaining a result as extreme as the one obtained assuming that the null hypothesis is true. II. If the P-value for a test is .015, the probability that the null hypothesis is true is .015. III. When the null hypothesis is rejected, it is because it is not true.

, Which of the following are true statements? I. Tests of significance (hypothesis tests) are designed to measure the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis. II1 A well-planned test of significance should result in a statement either that the null hypothesis is true or that it is fa!ÿ,e, III. The alternative hypothesis is one-sided if there is interest in deviations from the null hypothesis in only one direction.
