Section II Ifthe researcher does not retain or reject the null hypothesis, but views it with suspicion, depending on the degree of rarity of the test, then ( 1) are being used. Smaller pvalues tend to discredit the null hypothesis and support the research hypothesis. Using p- values is a less structured approach to hypothesis testing. If level of signicance is set at .05, any p-value less than .05 implies that the null hypothesis would have been (2) and any pvalue greater than .05 implies that the null hypothesis would be (3) . Computer generated pvalue are more precise, but are interpreted in the same way as those read from the tables in the appendix of the test. Using the less structured approach of (4)_+ allows the researcher to postpone a decision until subsequent investigation can provide n'ther evidence. This is an an attractive option when test results are
