Question
Assume that a researcher has established alpha at .05. Which statement is true?
A p value of .01 is more significant than a p value of .001.
A p value of .09 should be interpreted the same as a p value of .59.
A p value of .07 can be declared “marginally significant.”
A p value of .001 is more significant than a p value of .01.
A.A p value of .01 is more significant than a p value of .001.
B.A p value of .09 should be interpreted the same as a p value of .59.
C.A p value of .07 can be declared “marginally significant.”
D.A p value of .001 is more significant than a p value of .01.
Explanation / Answer
Answer is option D
A.p value of. 001 is more significant than a p value of. 01
Selecting =.05 indicates that the researcher is willing to risk being wrong in the decision to reject the null hypothesis 5 times out of 100, or 1 time out of 20. Referring back to the normal curve, =.05 divides the area under the curve into two sections - one section where the null hypothesis is retained and another section where the null hypothesis is rejected.
