Question

Based on the Method of Presentation section of Chapter 8,suppose you obtained a statistically significant t value of 2.5 with 15 subjects using an alpha level of .05.How would this be reported in a psychological journal? A)t (15)= 2.5,p < .05 B)t (15)= 2.5,p > .05 C)t (14)= 2.5,p < .05 D)t (14)= 2.5,p > .05

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct reporting format for this scenario would be to report the degrees of freedom, which is equal to the sample size minus one (15-1 = 14) and indicate that the p-value is less than .05. Therefore, t (14) = 2.5, p < .05 is the correct option. Option A is incorrect because it incorrectly lists the t-value as less than .05, while option B is incorrect because it incorrectly lists the p-value as greater than .05. Option D is incorrect because it incorrectly reports the degrees of freedom as 15 instead of 14.
