Question
FORUM DESCRPTION When interpreting the results of a t test, if you see the "Sig column in Spss indicate that the p value 000, you should instead report that as p .001 Why? Because in probability there is never a 0 probability of something happening Far example, the odds of winning the jackpct on a Powerball lortery are : in 22,201,33.00. you divide 292,201,338 you get a pzobabliity of 0.0D0GoD00 3422 This is a peobabillty of less than 0o1, but the probability is not zero, DiscuSSion Prorpti 1) Look up the probability of scnething veey uniikely happening, iike1 did abave.xplain what the andlkely event is 2) Mrit the pzobabiiity of this event happeaning in decimal forn 3) Explain why you would welte this probability in APA #anat aa p ,001 instead of p- .020 A, tt -su14 ht dispiyea tnExplanation / Answer
(a) Here We will take an event that a person is hit by lightening on two consecutive days. Here the probability of being hit by lightening is 12000 (as evaluated).
(b) So Probability of being hit by lightening = 1/(12000)2 = 0.0000000069444444
(c) As this is not a impossible event. Certain person were being hit by lighteneing twice and some one seven times , so, that probability can't be written as zero. As Zero would be the case when we will have the impossible event which has never occur. we will write it as < 0.0001 in APA format.
