Question

You determine whether the probability of a statistic such as the t-statistic is < .01 ______.
A) because p < .01 is much more significant than p < .05
B) in order to prove the research hypothesis
C) because p < .05 is more likely to occur than p < .01
D) to be as precise as possible

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using a more stringent significance level like p < .01 instead of p < .05 increases the precision of the results, reducing the likelihood of Type I errors (false positives).
