Question

How much education children get is strongly associated with the wealth and social status of their parents. In social science jargon, this is socioeconomic status or SES. However, the SES of parents has little influence on whether children, who have graduated from college, continue their education further. One study looked at whether college graduates took the graduate admissions tests for business, law, and other graduate programs. The effects of the parents' SES on taking the LSAT test for law school were both statistically insignificant and small. Identify the correct explanation of ?statistically insignificant? with a reference to this study. The differences observed were stated with a small level of confidence. The differences observed were no more than that might have been expected to occur by chance even if SES had no effect on taking the LSAT. The differences observed were more than might have been expected to occur by chance if SES had no effect on taking the LSAT. Identify the statement that correctly explains why it is important that the effects were small in size as well as insignificant. The effects being small proves that the test was insensitive to detect effects. The effects being small proves that the test was not insignificant at low confidence levels. The effects being small proves that that the test was not insignificant merely because of a small sample size.
