Rule for reporting probability:
Give an exact probability (to 2 decimal places), as shown by your statistical package.
Do not put in a zero before the decimal point, because the number can never be > 1.
EXCEPT: If the number is less than .001, report it as < .001
Examples:
Statistical package says t is 3.119, df is 7, p is 0.37325
t(7) = 3.12, p = .37
Statistical package says t is -1.24, df is 12, p is 0.01438
t(12) = 1.24, p = .01
Statistical package says t is 13.8614, df is 98, p is 2.2e-12
t(98) = 13.86, p < .001
Here are the results from SOFA statistics:
Before training: mean is 26.2, standard deviation is 7.887
After training: mean is 33.2, standard deviation is 8.927
The t statistic is 7.8262, degrees of freedom is 4, and the p-value is 0.0007195
The mean number of free throws after training (M = 33.2, SD = 8.93) was
higher than the mean number of free throws before training (M = 26.2, SD =
7.89) . The difference in means was highly significant, t(4) = 7.83, p ≤ .001.
The results from SOFA statistics say
the mean for females is 3.678, standard deviation is 3.534
the mean for males is 2.641, standard deviation is 2.028
The t value is -1.827, 104 degrees of freedom, probability 0.0706
The mean number of face touches for females (M = 3.68, SD = 3.53) was greater than
the mean number of touches for males (M = 2.64, SD = 2.03). The difference was not
significant, t(104) = -1.83, p =.071.
