A study of the career plans of young women and men sent questionnaires to all 722 members of the senior class in the College of Business Administration at the University of Illinois. One question asked which major within the business program the student had chosen. The researcher examined the relationship between gender (men/women) and chosen major. The SPSS p-value was 0.0027. The conclusion of the statistical test is:

Answer 1

Answer: statistically significant

Explanation:

The p-value of a statistical test tell us the conclusion to our hypothesis. When the result of the p-value lies between 0.27 it means there is a 27% chance of it occurring, when it is at 0.02 it means there is a 2% chance of it occurring. When it lies between 0.0027 it means there is 0.27 chance of it occurring this becomes statistically significant as this won’t have much changes or effects on the hypothesis. So what this means is there is chance it won’t occur.
