Which statement is equivalent to a statistically significant independent t-test? Select all that are true.
Retain the null hypothesis.
The p-value is less than .05.
The 95% confidence interval for the difference of means does not contain 0.
Alpha is greater than .05.
A p-value less than 0.05 (typically ≤ 0.05) is statistically significant. It indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, as there is less than a 5% probability the null is correct (and the results are random). Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis, and accept the alternative hypothesis.
95% confidence interval for the difference of mean does not contain zero. Means it reject the null hypothesis and the then it is statistically significant.
Therefore option 2 and option 3 are correct.
