C

Answer to Question 2

C.
Explanation: In determining significant differences between scores, a significant difference at the .05 level indicates that there is a 5 chance that the difference is due to error. In other words, this means that the chances are 95 out of 100 that a true difference exists and that there are only 5 chances out of 100 that the difference is by error or chance.
