B) the findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to chance.
C) the effects of the intervention were nearly zero.
D) the clinical significance of the findings was less than 1:100.
CORRECT: B
Explanation: The level of significance is the level at which the researcher believes that the study
results most likely represent a nonchance event. A level of significance of <0.01 indicates that there
is less than 1% probability that the result is due to chance.

uncertainty about participating, do not try to convince them to participate. Ask the person from the
research team who is managing consents to speak with concerned clients about the study, even after a
client has signed the consent forms.
