Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The alpha level is the probability level chosen by the researcher before conducting the test, which is used to determine the cutoff point for determining statistical significance. It is typically set at 0.05 or 0.01, which means that results with a probability of occurring by chance of less than 5% or 1% are considered statistically significant.
