7. A wellness group performed a survey at a company's employees on workplace stress and physical activity. They are interested in comparing "coping with workplace stress" scores between 4 groups of respondents (N=31) classified by physical activity (sedentary, low, moderate, high). If the "p value" of the corresponding statistical test is below the a priori significance level of 0.05, then the probability of observing between-group differences in coping stress scores as big as the one found in this study (in a world where physical activity had no effect on coping with stress) is less than 5%.

a. true

b. false
