B) Increase the sample size. C) Increase the sample size and decrease the confidence level. D) Decrease the confidence level. 2) 3) If the level of significance is 0.05, and the P-value is 0.043, the decision would be to A) make no decision because the difference between the level of significance and the P-value is not statistically significant.
