A sports psychologist is interested in the relationship between

height and reaction time in atheletes. He divides his clients

into 2 groups: Those who are taller than 6' (the 'tall group')

and those who are 6' or less (the 'short group'). Then he

administers a reaction time test to both groups and compares

the results.

A colleague of the sports psychologist undertakes a replication

of the study on height and reaction time with her own clients.

She also conducts a t-test, sets alpha at .01, and finds that the

p-value resulting from her data is .02. She should...

a. reject the null hypothesis.

b. fail to reject the null hypothesis.

c. conclude that 'p' is so close to alpha that it is not

possible to make a decision about the null hypothesis.

d. conclude that 'p' is so far from alpha that it is not

possible to make a decision about the null

hypothesis.

e. none of the above
