A staff member at UF's Wellness Center is interested in seeing if a new stress reduction program will lower employees high blood pressure levels. Twenty people are selected and have their blood pressure measured. Each person then participates in the stress reduction program. One month after the stress reduction program, the blood pressure levels of the employees were measured again. Did the program reduce the average blood pressure level? The 95% confidence interval was (5.6, 10.2). What can we expect will be the p-value for a two sided test using this data? Group of answer choices The p-value should be smaller than 0.95 The p-value should be larger than 0.95 The p-value should be smaller than 0.05. The p-value should be higher than 0.05.

The p-value should be smaller than 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the 95% confidence interval for the difference of means is (5.6, 10.2). As the lower bound is larger than 0, we are 95% confident that the reduction program had had a effect in the blood pressure level.

Then, as the program had a significant effect in the blood pressure level, we know that the null hypothesis (that states that the blood pressure levels would no change significantly) is then rejected.

If the significance level is 0.05, according to the confidence of the interval, to reject the null hypothesis, the p-value had to be lower than the significance level. In conclusion, the p-value should be lower than 0.05.
