Question
the result of a statistical analysis shows that the tcalculate= 2.37 and the tcritical= 1.40. The alpha of the test was set at 0.05. What are your conclusions concerning the significance of the test? Would your conclusion change if the alpha were changed to 0.10 (assuming the tcritical and tcalculated stayed the same). Explain why or why not.
