Question

a researcher wants to find out if there is a significant difference between men and women in the average number of tattoos that a person has. after doing the statistical analysis, the researcher finds that the p - value is 0.003. if the chosen significance level is 0.05 (5%), which of the following statements is the best interpretation of this p - value? a. the results are statistically significant. b. the results are not statistically significant. c. the magnitude of a p - value has no impact on statistical significance.

Explanation:

In hypothesis - testing, if the p - value is less than the chosen significance level, the results are statistically significant. Here, the p - value is 0.003 and the significance level is 0.05. Since 0.003 < 0.05, the results are statistically significant.

Answer:

A. The results are statistically significant.
