Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: If findings in a research study are statistically significantwhich means they did not occur by chancethe probability value is less than .05, the acceptable level of significance.
Rationale 2: Values greater than .05 are considered to be statistically insignificant and there is a greater probability that the results were due to chance occurrences.
Rationale 3: Values greater than .05 are considered to be statistically insignificant and there is a greater probability that the results were due to chance occurrences.
Rationale 4: It is not known what the generalized findings would be.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The school system would be more representative of the population, which includes all possible members of the group who meet the criteria for the study.

Rationale 3: The parents would be more representative of the population, which includes all possible members of the group who meet the criteria for the study.
