Question

Suppose that a researcher decides that he MUST obtain a Type 1 error level of no more than 0.01 in order to reject the null hypothesis. After analyzing his data he finds that the results are significant at p = 0.05 but not at p = 0.01. If he is not able to change the maximum allowed Type 1 error level, then the researcher should

 

Question 5 options:

 

retain the null hypothesis because 0.05 is greater than 0.01.

reject the null hypothesis because 0.05 is close to 0.01.

 

reject the null hypothesis because 0.05 is greater than 0.01.
