Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements about statistical significance is correct?

  • The p-value of an observed effect is always equal to the significance level chosen for the study.
  • The p-value of a result is the probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme, given that the null hypothesis is true. (correct)
  • A result has statistical significance when a result at least as "extreme" would be very frequent if the null hypothesis were true.
  • The significance level for a study is chosen after data collection.

    • What is the significance level in statistical hypothesis testing?

  • The probability of the study accepting the null hypothesis, given that the null hypothesis is true.
  • The probability of an observed effect occurring due to sampling error alone.
  • The probability of the study rejecting the null hypothesis, given that the null hypothesis is true. (correct)
  • The probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme, given that the null hypothesis is true.

    • What does it mean for a result to be statistically significant?

  • The result is considered extremely common if the alternative hypothesis is true.
  • The result is considered extremely rare if the null hypothesis is true. (correct)
  • The result is considered extremely rare if the alternative hypothesis is true.
  • The result is considered extremely common if the null hypothesis is true.

    Study Notes

    Statistical Hypothesis Testing

    • Statistical significance is a measure of the probability that the observed difference between groups is due to chance.
    • The significance level is the maximum probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis, typically set at 0.05.
    • A result is considered statistically significant if the p-value is less than the significance level, indicating that the observed difference is unlikely to be due to chance.
    • The p-value represents the probability of obtaining the observed result (or a more extreme result) assuming that the null hypothesis is true.

    Strategic Planning

    • Strategic planning lays the groundwork for effective project management.
    • Project managers use a top-down approach in the strategic view, focusing on overall goals and objectives.
    • The authors of the strategic models suggest that project managers initiate activities by issuing directives.
    • Organizing plans in a hierarchy allows for a clear understanding of how individual tasks contribute to the overall project goals.
    • The 'Game Plan' represents the overall strategy and approach for achieving project objectives.
