Suppose we wanted to apply a one-tailed test as opposed to a two-tailed test. How would we covert a significance of p = .284?
A) .284 / 2 = .142
B) .284 × 2 = .568
C) .284 / 11 = .026
D) .284 × 11 = 3.124

To convert a two-tailed significance level (p) to a one-tailed significance level, we divide it by 2. Therefore, for p = .284, dividing it by 2 would give us the new significance level for a one-tailed test, which is .142 (option A). The other options are incorrect as they do not follow the correct method for converting two-tailed significance to one-tailed significance.
