APFIVE Effect of Test Statistic on P-Value
In a quality control experiment, simulations produced 100 samples of size 6 and the median absolute deviation (MAD) distribution, with a sample MAD of $$0.06$$ corresponding to a p-value of approximately 0.03. What would happen if the experimental sample’s MAD were instead $$0.02$$?
A
The p-value would be much higher, suggesting that such a low MAD is well within the expected range and would not trigger recalibration.
B
The p-value would remain approximately 0.03 since the simulation sample size is fixed.
C
The p-value would decrease dramatically, indicating stronger evidence for recalibration.
D
The p-value would become irrelevant because a lower MAD does not affect the recalibration decision in this protocol.
