4. Let's say you were interested in comparing the weight of the average newborn tabby kitten or boxer puppy. You weight 100 of each in grams. You then conduct a t-test. Your t-test results in a p-value of 0.06. You would conclude which of the following?

a. Newborn kittens and puppies are statistically non-significantly different in weight. If we ran this study 100 times with different samples, we would expect difference as extreme in 6% of studies just by chance

b. Newborn kittens and puppies are statistically non-significantly different in weight. If we ran this study 100 times with different samples, we would expect differences as extreme in 94% of studies just by chance

c. Newborn kittens and puppies are statistically significantly different in weight. If we ran this study 100 times with different samples, we would expect differences as extreme in 94% of studies just by chance

d. Newborn kittens and puppies are statistically significantly different in weight. If we ran this study 100 times with different samples, we would expect differences as extreme in 6% of studies just by chance

5. Which of the following is the best way to write a materials and methods sentence?

c. "You will measure the snout to vent length of each salamander using green plastic, manual calipers that measure to the nearest 0.001mm"

d. "The snout to vent length of the salamanders was measured using calipers that were made available by the lab instructor"

7. If you did a study comparing SAT scores of KSU freshmen across different prospective majors, which of the following would be the best title for your manuscript?
