Question

In the parent involvement study Deslandes & Bertrand,2005),the researchers state a finding in paragraph 27: "Parents' perceptions of students' invitations in the social domain was the most powerful predictor;it accounted for an additional 28% of the variance beta = .35,p < .001)."
From looking at the p value you would conclude
A)that the results were statistically significant.
B)that the probability alpha level was set too low.
C)that the authors should have set an exact p value.
D)that the partial results indicated a significant p value of .001.

A p value less than .05 (typically denoted as p < .05) indicates that the results are statistically significant, meaning that the likelihood of obtaining the results by chance alone is less than 5%. In this case, the p value is even lower (p < .001), indicating an even stronger level of statistical significance. Therefore, choice A is the best answer.
