Question

When do you determine whether the probability of a statistic such as the t-statistic is less than .01?
A) when you do not reject the null hypothesis
B) when you reject the null hypothesis
C) when you've already concluded that p > .05
D) when you've already concluded that p > .01

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of the t-statistic being less than .01 is determined when the null hypothesis is rejected. This means that the p-value was found to be less than .05 (or sometimes less than .01), indicating that there is significant evidence to support the alternative hypothesis.
