Question

In a Friedman test for comparing three populations, provided that there are five blocks, the test statistic is calculated as  = 6.594. Then, the most accurate statement that can be made about the p-value is that:
A) p-value < 0.01 
B) .05 < p-value < .10 
C) .025 < p-value < .05 
D) p-value > .10 
E) 0.01< p-value < 0.025

With a test statistic of 6.594 and 5 blocks, we need to consult the appropriate Friedman test table for p-values (or use a statistical software). Looking at the table, we find that the p-value for a test statistic of 6.594 and 5 blocks is between 0.025 and 0.05. Therefore, the most accurate statement is that .025 < p-value < .05.
