Auniversity administrator sampled the academic records of both male and female scholarship athletes at her university. after comparing the mean gpa of males with the mean gpa of females, she reported no significant difference between the means (p-value = 0.287). what is a correct interpretation of this p-value in the context of the problem?
a. the gpas for male and female scholarship athletes are identical, except for 28.7% of the athletes.
b. the maximum difference in gpas between male and female scholarship athletes is 0.287.
c. the chance of obtaining a difference in gpas between male and female scholarship athletes as large as that observed in the sample if there is no difference in mean gpas is 0.287.
d. the chance that a pair of randomly chosen male and female scholarship athletes would have a significant difference in gpas is 0.287.
