Question

When Dr. Ramsey conducts his t-test on whether there is a gender difference in empathy, his significance value is p = 087 and his r^2 is .46 (a large effect size). What should he conclude? He should reject the null hypothesis. He should reject the null hypothesis. He probably committed a Type I error, he should repeat his study with another sample of the same size He probably committed a Type II error, he should repeat his study with a larger sample size. He should accept the null hypothesis. There is no significant difference between men and women in empathy, He should definitely drop the study and move on.

Explanation / Answer

If we assume the level of significance to be say 0.05, then our p-value = 0.087 > 0.05, so we fail to reject H0. Hence, there is no significant difference.
