Frank performs an experiment to determine whether the amount of cookies a person eats has an affect on their blood sugar level. Frank finds a strong relationship between the amount of cookies a person eats and their blood sugar level, with a p-value of 0.02. Which of the following shows the correct way for Frank to report his findings? How does one properly write that the alternative hypothesis was correct?
The results were statistically significant, and therefore, the experiment rejects the null hypothesis.
The results were not statistically significant, and therefore, the experiment fails to reject the null hypothesis.
The results were statistically significant, and therefore, the experiment accepts the alternative hypothesis.
The results were not statistically significant, and therefore, the experiment rejects the null hypothesis.
