Imagine you conduct a study examining stress and exams on undergraduate students in introductory psychology classes at the University. Demographically, 80% of these students have majors in the behavioral sciences and are 75% female.

Pick best answer choice within the brackets and restate the statement in the questions

A) You set your alpha level at .025 and you find a p-value of .001. This means that you have found a(n) [statistically significant result/unlikely result/statistically non-significant result]. This determination is made by [subtracting the p-value from/adding the p-value to/comparing the p-value to] the [observed/accepted/pre-determined] alpha level, where the observed p-value has to be [larger than the alpha level/smaller than the alpha level/at least equal to the alpha level/smaller than the critical t-value].

B) The above findings mean that the result you found are [most likely true/most likely not true] toward the population that is like your sample. However, beyond statistics, you would have to take into account the [recruitment/assignment/sampling technique] used in your study to discuss the [internal validity/external validity] of your findings to the broader [sampling frame/population/sample] of undergraduate students.

C) The generalizability of this study can be improved by [using a (quasi-)experimental design/ stratified sampling toward the target population/increasing the sample size/purposive sampling toward the target population].
