-How should the significance level for the χ² test be reported?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The significance level for the χ² test should be reported as a p-value. The p-value is the probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme as or more extreme than the one that was observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. A p-value of .019 indicates that there is a 1.9% chance of obtaining a test statistic as extreme as or more extreme than the one that was observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. This is a statistically significant result, as it is less than the traditional alpha level of .05.
