Facial shaving brushes are either bulb-shaped or fan-shaped. an experiment is to be conducted to determine whether the lather thickness is the same for both types of shaving brushes. in previous studies, it was determined that shaving brush size (small, medium, large) is associated with lather thickness, but shaving brush type (wolf whiskers, maggard razors, frank shaving, and so on) is not associated with lather thickness. how could the experiment best be conducted? by blocking on shaving brush size by blocking on shaving brush type by blocking on shaving brush shape by blocking on lather thickness without blocking

On a certain portion of an experiment, a statistical test result yielded a p-value of 0.18. what can you conclude? 2(0.18) = 0.36 < 0.5; the test is not statistically significant. if the null hypothesis is true, one could expect to get a test statistic at least as extreme as that observed 18% of the time, so the test is not statistically significant. if the null hypothesis is true, one could expect to get a test statistic at least as extreme as that observed 82% of the time, so the test is not statistically significant. 0.18 > 0.05; the test is statistically significant. p = 1 - 0.18 = 0.82 > 0.05; the test is statistically significant.
