Which of the following p-values would signify that a sample correlation coefficient is significant at the 1% level of significance?

A0.005 ✓ Correct
B0.02
C0.99
D0.95
Correct answer: (A) 0.005
Explanation

A p-value of 0.005 is below 0.01, so it is significant at the 1% level.

Significance at the 1% level requires the p-value to fall under 0.01.

A p-value of 0.02 lies above 0.01, so it fails at the 1% level though it clears 5%.

A p-value of 0.99 shows the result is far from significant.

A p-value of 0.95 is likewise nowhere near the required threshold.

The smaller the p-value, the stronger the evidence against the null hypothesis.
