Thread: P-value..hypotheses

I had a quiz. I want to know if I got this right..

The amount of students who enrolled in AP statistics and dropped out is 13%.
A company wants to test a computer program to see if it is effective to help the students.
They then took a sample of students who used the product. Out of 203 students, 11% of the students dropped out.

Whats the meaning of P-value?
Of course what is pvalue?
What would you say about this? Is the product effective?

What I did was find p-value and then did a confidence interval.
Can someone do it so I can see if I was right? thanks!

Well, if your p-value is larger than the level of significance used, you must realise that the p-value is NOT significant .......!! And if the p-value is not significant, ........
