A researcher can test at the p < .05, p < .01, or p < .001 level for statistical significance. How can these three levels be used to evaluate risk to patients in implementing decisions based on research findings?
To answer the question, describe a study (real or hypothetical) where:
- a statistical significance of p<.05 would be acceptable when considering risk to patients
- a statistical significance of p<.01 would be the minimum acceptable when considering risk to patients
- a statistical significance of p<.001 would be the minimum acceptable when considering risk to patients
