• A) db = 4.9
• B) db = 8.7
• C) db = 7.2
• D) db = 11.4
• E) db = 3.8

P-value

A statistical measure that helps researchers determine the significance of their experimental results, indicating the probability of observing the results by chance.

Significance Level

A threshold within a statistical test that defines the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true, often denoted as alpha (α).
