A value that divides a list of numbers into quarters
A value below which a given percentage of observations fall

What are levels of measurement?
A classification that describes the nature of information
Only describes interval variables

What does a p-value represent in statistical tests?
The sample mean
A significance level

True or False: The p-value is a proportion. If your p-value is 0.05, it means that 5% of the time, you would observe a test statistic at least as extreme as the one you found if the null hypothesis were true.
True

True or False. When p > α, you should fail to reject the Null hypothesis.
True
