If FAxB = 3.12 with df = 5,85, the researcher would ______. A) reject the null p

Question

If FAxB = 3.12 with df = 5,85, the researcher would ______.
A) reject the null p < .05 but not < .01
B) reject the null p < .05 and < .01
C) not reject the null p < .05
D) not reject the null p > .01 and .05

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With a given value of FAxB and degrees of freedom (df) of 5,85, the researcher would consult the F-distribution table for critical values. At both alpha levels (p < .05 and p < .01), the critical value for F would be larger than 3.12. Therefore, the researcher would reject the null hypothesis at the p < .05 level but not at the p < .01 level.
