Question

1.) Evaluate if each of the statements is either true or false and give a brief explanation (one sentence):

a.) The bivariate test results gave me a p-value of .000, so I know that my theory has been preliminarily validated.

b.) The bivariate test results gave me a p-value of .02, so I know that I have found a very strong relationship between X and Y.

c.) The bivariate test results gave me a p-value of .27, so I know that the relationship cannot be distinguished from random chance.

d.) The bivariate test results gave me a p-value of .50, so I know that there is only a 50% change of this relationship being systematic.

Explanation / Answer

a) True
If p-value is 0.000, we reject the null hypothesis i.e. there are significant evidence to conclude that there is relationship between two variables.

b) False
Relationship between x and y is determined by the value of r, p-value is used to test the hypothesis.

c)
True
Here we fail to reject the null hypothesis i.e. there are not significant evidence to conclude that there is relation between two variables.

d) False
Relationship between x and y is determined by the value of r, p-value is used to test the hypothesis.
