A researcher reports a c² (obtained)of 75.34 (a =.05,df = 1,c² (critical)= 3.84,N = 13,678).The researcher claims that the relationship is extremely significant.What issue should be raised? A)degrees of freedom are much too small for a sample this large B)alpha is too low C)sample size is very large and the actual relationship between the variables might be trivial D)the value for c² (critical)is much too low

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With a very large sample size of 13,678, even small correlations can reach statistical significance at the 0.05 level. Thus, the actual relationship between the variables might be trivial despite the extremely significant result. Therefore, caution should be exercised when interpreting the practical significance of the finding.
