Correct answer: C
In hypothesis testing, the p-value represents the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed results. There is an inverse relationship between p-value and significance: lower p-values indicate higher statistical significance.
To arrange from lower to higher significance, we order the p-values from largest to smallest. E (0.5) represents the lowest significance, followed by C (0.05), B (0.01), D (0.001), and finally A (0.0001) which represents the highest significance.
Thus, the correct order is E → C → B → D → A.
