17. In a cohort study, 10,000 men who consume alcohol were compared with
10,000 men who do not consume alcohol. The results show that men who
consume alcohol have an increased risk for cancer of the bladder that is
statistically significant at the 5% level. Which of the following is the most
appropriate interpretation of this result?
A. At least 5% of the bladder cancers can be attributed to consumption of
alcohol
B. At least 5% of consumers of alcohol will develop cancer of the bladder
C. Such an effect would occur by chance in less than 5% of repeated samples of
this size
D. There is at least a 5% increased risk for bladder cancer among consumers of
alcohol
E. Men who drink alcohol are 5 times more likely to develop bladder cancer
than those who do not drink alcohol

I will go with C. D uses "at least". I think it should be changed to "at most". Correct me if I'm wrong.

the answer is C, because "P is short for probability: the probability of getting something more extreme than your result, when there is no effect in the population. Bizarre! And what's this got to do with statistical significance?" --- it means that there is less than a 5 percent chance you could have gotten those results by chance if that makes any sense.
