Effect of Test Statistic on P-Value
A quality control simulation generated a sampling distribution for the median absolute deviation (MAD) from 100 samples of size 6. An observed sample MAD of yielded a p-value of approximately 0.03. If the observed sample MAD had been instead, how would the p-value have changed?
A
The p-value would remain approximately 0.03 since the simulation sample size is fixed.
B
The p-value would be much higher, suggesting that such a low MAD is well within the expected range and would not trigger recalibration.
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.
