Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: The p value is more than the preset level, so the test is not statistically significant. In the language of research, this means the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis or the hypothesis that said there was no difference.
Rationale 2: The researcher cannot reject a research hypothesis since it is the null or statistical hypothesis that is tested, not the research hypothesis.
Rationale 3: The p value is more than the preset level, so the test is not statistically significant. In the language of research, this means the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis or the hypothesis that said there was no difference. It is considered bad form to use the term accept when discussing the null hypothesis.
Rationale 4: Anytime the probability, or p value, is equal to or less than the , the researcher fails to reject the null hypothesis. If the p value is greater than the , the researcher would reject the null hypothesis.
