most social science researchers are willing to declare that a relationship is statistically significant if the chances of observing the relationship in the sample when actually nothing is going on in the population (i.e., random chance) are less than what percent?



Answer :

Most researcher fix level of significance at 5% i.e. they conclude a significant relationship when nothing is going on in 5% of cases. Hence,

Option A is correct which is 1.5%

Given that,

The majority of social scientists are willing to claim that a link is statistically significant if the likelihood of observing the relationship in the sample when nothing is happening in the population is greater than a certain threshold.

To find:

Less than what percentage of the population truly experiences nothing at all (i.e., random chance)

The majority of researchers set the level of significance at 5%, which means they draw conclusions about a meaningful association even when nothing is happening in 5% of cases.
