Serge is reviewing evidence of effects of the DASH diet on blood pressure. One randomized controlled trial (RCT) examined the persistence of changes in blood pressure 1 year after DASH diet implementation alone, compared to the DASH diet + behavioral weight management. The findings revealed a statistically significant reduction in blood pressure in the DASH diet + behavioral weight management group (p = .02). The p value indicates:

	A.	in 90% of trials, the chance of this outcome is 1 in 20.
	B.	the probability that this outcome occurred by chance is 2 in 100.
	C.	the actual value for this outcome falls between the interval of 0-2.
	D.	the strength of the association between the DASH diet and behavioral weight management is .02.
