Question

1) You are reading an article in your field that reports several statistical analyses. The article says that the P-value for a significance test is 0.045. Is this result significant at the 5% significance level?

2) Is the result with P-value 0.045 significant at the 1% significance level?

3) For another significance test, the article says only that the result was significant at the 1% level. Are such results always, sometimes, or never significant at the 5% level?

4) You read an article that contains a 95% confidence interval. Would the margin of error in a 99% confidence interval computed from the same data be less, the same, or greater?

Explanation / Answer

1) as p value is less then 0.05 level ; this result is significant at the 5% significance level

2) No as p vlaue is greater then 0.01

3)it will always be significant as if p value is lower then 0.01 then it must always lower then 0.05.

4)greater,as interval increase to provide higher probabilty,
