after finding a statistically significant relationship in ch

after finding a statistically significant relationship in chi square analysis such as p<.05 or p<.01 a researcher is likely to

a. avoid a type I arror b. commit a type II error. c. reject the null hypothesis d. accept the null hypothesis e. conclude that the relationship is substantively important.

Solution

obtaining a p value <0.05 or <.01 means the null hypothesis is rejected.Hence option c is correct, Now type I error means false rejection of null hypothesis. So here we see that the null hypothesis is being rejected so it is likely for the investigator to reject the null hypothesis wrongly thus committing type -I error. Hence option a is also correct. Lastly the null hypothesis states that there is no substancial relation. But since it is being rejected researcher may conclude that there is substantive relationship
