Het antwoord van de student is correct, al heeft hij de argumentatie voor de one-tailed test vergeten. We gebruiken hier de one-tailed test aangezien er sprake is van 'cheap' pork. Er is dus een teveel aan vet aangezien vet goedkoper is dan vlees.

We kunnen dus best geen klacht indienen aangezien we bij verlies, de gerechtskosten en dergelijke moeten betalen.

Het antwoord van de student is juist, hij maakt ook gebruik van de juiste p-waarde. (eenzijdige). het is namelijk zo; In de opgave staat dat je een sterk vermoeden hebt dat er fraude is, teveel vet, dan ga ervan uit dat de fraude maar in 1 richting kan gaan; nl teveel vet. niemand gaat te weinig vet en teveel vlees gebruiken want vlees is duurder dan vet. Door deze beredenering gebruiken we de One tailed. Deze p-waarde geeft de percentage kan weer dat je je vergist bij het verwerpen van de nulhypothese. Deze 41% betekent dat er een grote kans is dat je klacht ongerechtvaardigd is. Meestal kan je deze conclusie trekken als de p-value groter is dan 5% (wat in dit geval zo is). De nulhypothese mag dus NIET verworpen worden. In dit voorbeeld is het verschil tussen die 15% en 15.48% dus veroorzaakt door toeval. Verwerp de nulhypothese niet!

Het antwoord van de student is niet correct. Ik citeer: 'de kans dat de klacht NIET ONGEGROND is...'. Dit wil dus zeggen dat de klacht WEL gegrond is. Maar in feite staat de 41% die je ziet voor de kans dat ze NIET gegrond is. De p-waarde betekent immers de kans dat je je vergist bij het verwerpen van de nulhypothese. In dit geval is die kans dus zeer groot. Je kan dus best geen klacht indienen, dit zou duur kunnen uitvallen als je een advocaat inhuurt. Je kan ook de nulhypothese best niet verwerpen.

De oplossing van de student is correct (juiste p-waarde en conclusie) maar hij heeft het niet goed verwoord. De klacht is niet 'niet ongegrond' maar wel 'niet gegrond'. De p-waarde is de kans dat je je vergist bij de verwerping van de nulhypothese. Zoals de student wel zegt, is het beter geen klacht in te dienen. Ook kun je de nulhypothese niet verwerpen omdat het verschil tussen 15% en 15,48% veroorzaakt is door toeval.
