A confidence level of 95% means that we have a 5% chance of a Type I error, which is rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true. A p-value of 0.035 is less than 0.05 (our alpha level), so we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that our results are significant. A significant result means that we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis is that there is an association between the variables being studied. Therefore, we can conclude that our results are significant and that 95% of studies just like ours should generate similar results.
