Question

Imagine the value of a t-statistic is greater than the critical value for α = .05 but less than the critical value for α = .01. Which of the following is the level of significance for this t-statistic? A) p < .01 (but not < .05) B) p > .01 C) p > .01 (but not < .05) D) p < .05 (but not < .01)

The t-statistic is significant at the .05 level (since it is greater than the critical value for α = .05), but not significant at the .01 level (since it is less than the critical value for α = .01). Therefore, the p-value must be between .01 and .05, so the correct choice is D.
