Imagine the value of a statistic is greater than the critical value for α = .05 but less than the critical value for α = .01. Which is the MOST appropriate way to report the level of significance?

A) p < .01
B) p > .01
C) p < .05
D) p > .05

Critical Value

A threshold in hypothesis testing that defines the boundary beyond which an observed test statistic is considered statistically significant.

Level of Significance

A threshold used in hypothesis testing that determines the probability of wrongly rejecting a true null hypothesis.

  • Correctly report the degree of significance utilizing the statistic's value and critical markers.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The value falls between the critical values for α = .05 and α = .01, which means it is statistically significant at the .05 level but not at the .01 level. Therefore, the most appropriate way to report the level of significance is to say that p < .05.
