Correcting myself, it should be For example, if P = 0.023, then anyone who tested the corresponding null hypothesis at a fixed level greater than or equal to 0.023 (e.g., 0.05) would reject, while anyone working at a fixed level less 0.023 (e.g. 0.01) would fail to reject. . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
