Question

in the context of inferential statistics, which of the following values represents the highest level of statistical significance?
○ .05
○ .01
○ .001
○ .005

Explanation:

In inferential statistics, the p - value (or significance level) represents the probability of obtaining the observed results (or more extreme results) if the null hypothesis is true. A smaller p - value indicates stronger evidence against the null hypothesis, meaning a higher level of statistical significance. Among the given values 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, and 0.005, we compare their magnitudes. We know that 0.001 < 0.005 < 0.01 < 0.05. So, 0.001 is the smallest among them, which means it represents the highest level of statistical significance.

Answer:

.001
