hypothesis testing is that of significance level or‚ the alpha level‚ which specifies the probability level for the evidence to be an unreasonable estimate. Unreasonable means that the estimate should not have taken its particular value unless some non-chance factor(s) had operated to alter the nature of the sample such that it was no longer representative of the population of interest. (Price‚ 2000) As a researcher‚ you have complete control over the value of this significance level. The alpha level

researchers had set the level of significance or = 0.01‚ would the results of p 0.001 still be statistically significant? Provide a rationale for your answer. Answer: Yes‚ because 0.001 < 0.01 is significant. 5. If F (3‚ 60) 4.13‚ p 0.04‚ and = 0.01‚ is the result statistically significant? Provide a rationale for your answer. Would the null hypothesis be accepted or rejected? Answer: The 0.04 > 0.01 would indicate that there is no statistical significance and except the null and conclude
