Imagine the value of an F-ratio is less than the critical value for = .05 and 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
F-ratio
A statistic used in ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) that compares the variation between group means to the variation within groups, evaluating whether group means are significantly different.
Critical Value
A threshold in hypothesis testing that defines the boundary between accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis, determined by the chosen significance level.
Level of Significance
A threshold set by the researcher which determines the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true, used in hypothesis testing.
- Engage the correct decision guideline for assessing whether to reject or retain the null hypothesis, influenced by the F-ratio and significance level.
