A new manager,hired at a large warehouse,was told to reduce the 26% employee sick leave.The manager introduced a new incentive program for employees with perfect attendance.The manager decides to test the new program to see if it's better and receives a P-value of 0.06.What is reasonable to conclude about the new strategy?

A) There is a 94% chance of the new program having no effect on employee attendance.
B) If the sick leave percentage has not changed,then there is a 6% chance of seeing the decrease in the sick leave percentage we observed (or lower) from natural sampling variation.We can conclude the new program is more effective.
C) There is a 6% chance of the new program having no effect on employee attendance.
D) We can say there is a 6% chance of seeing the new program having no effect on employee attendance in the results we observed from natural sampling variation.We conclude the new program is more effective.
E) If the sick leave percentage has not changed,then there is a 6% chance of seeing the decrease in the sick leave percentage we observed (or lower) from natural sampling variation.There is moderate evidence the new program is more effective,but we cannot conclude the program has no effect on employee attendance.

Final Answer : E, Explanation :  A P-value of 0.06 suggests that if there were no effect of the program, there is a 6% chance of observing the data or something more extreme due to random variation. This provides moderate evidence against the null hypothesis, but not strong enough to conclusively say the program is effective.
