A certain type of legal proceeding has three possible outcomes: in favor of party A, in favor of party B, or not in favor of either party. The outcomes are expected to be 40 percent, 20 percent, and 40 percent, respectively. A random sample of 40 cases is selected from a certain judge to investigate whether the judgeâs outcomes are consistent with the expected outcomes. A chi-square goodness-of-fit test is conducted, and the value of the chi-square test statistic is Ï2=9.19 with a corresponding pâvalue of 0.01. Assuming the conditions for inference were met, which of the following is the correct interpretation of the pâvalue? a. There is a 1 percent chance that the company's claim is correct.
b. If the null hypothesis is true, there is a 1 percent chance that the company's claim is correct.
c. If the null hypothesis is true, there is a 1 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of 9.19.
d. If the null hypothesis is true, there is a 1 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of at least 9.19.
e. There is a 1 percent chance of obtaining a chi-square value of at least 9.19.
