Imagine the value of a statistic is greater than the critical value for α = .05 but less than the critical value for α = .01. Which is the MOST appropriate way to report the level of significance? A) p .01 C) p .05

Question

Imagine the value of a statistic is greater than the critical value for α = .05 but less than the critical value for α = .01. Which is the MOST appropriate way to report the level of significance? A) p < .01 B) p > .01 C) p < .05 D) p > .05

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The value falls between the critical values for α = .05 and α = .01, which means it is statistically significant at the .05 level but not at the .01 level. Therefore, the most appropriate way to report the level of significance is to say that p < .05.
