Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the study
results most likely represent a nonchance event. A level of significance of <0.01 indicates that
there is less than 1 probability that the result is due to chance.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The Quality and Affordable Care Act addresses the Medicare and Medicaid
programs, aiming to increase availability and eliminate waste and fraud. The act does not
directly address the functioning of HMOs or the availability of specific aspects of care.
