You determine whether the probability of a statistic such as the t-statistic is less than .01 (p < .01) ______.
A) when you do not reject the null hypothesis
B) when you reject the null hypothesis
C) whenever you analyze a set of data
D) when you accept the null hypothesis
Statistical Probability
The likelihood of an event occurring based on a mathematical model, often expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
- Assess whether the null hypothesis should be discarded or upheld by analyzing the relationship between p-values and alpha significance levels.
- Elucidate the significance levels and elucidate what p < .01 and p < .05 signify regarding data.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
When you reject the null hypothesis, you are saying that the probability of obtaining the observed statistic (such as the t-statistic) under the null hypothesis is so small (less than .01) that it is unlikely to have occurred by chance.
