Reconsider the previous exercises about the study of whether there is an association between number of Facebook friends and a person’s sex. The p-value for the randomization-based test of whether the average number of Facebook friends men have is different from that of women turns out to be 0.0520.
a. Interpret this p-value in the context of the study.
b. Based on the p-value, what is the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis?
