Question

question 5 a graduate student designs a research study. she hopes to show that the results of her experiment are statistically significant. what type of p - value indicates statistically significant results? a. a large p - value b. a small p - value c. the magnitude of a p - value has no impact on statistical significance.

Explanation:

The p - value is the probability of obtaining results as extreme or more extreme than the observed results, assuming the null hypothesis is true. A small p - value (usually less than a pre - determined significance level like 0.05) indicates that the observed results are unlikely to have occurred by chance under the null hypothesis, thus suggesting statistical significance.

Answer:

B. A small p - value
