Omdat we nu een sterk vermoeden hebben dat er gefraudeerd wordt gebruiken we de eenzijdige test(meet de afwijking naar boven).

De P-value is de werkelijke kans dat u zich vergist. Uit de tabel kunnen we zien dat deze waarde 0.413637749448374 bedraagt. Dit wil zeggen dat de kans dat u zich vergist als u een klacht indient, 41% is.

De P-waarde (0.413637749448374) is veel groter dan de alfa-fout (0,05). Dit wijst erop dat dat we de afwijking ( het verschil tussen 15% e n15,46%) kunnen toeschrijven aan louter toeval. We gaan dus geen klacht indienen.
