506, CV = 2.00, df = 58). Although reason cannot be presented as to why there was a failure to reject the null hypothesis it is important to note that differences between the groups were not found. Although reasons for these differences are not definable by the results it is important to realize that sometimes no differences in healthcare issues are as important as those that are statistically significant. Unfortunately, however, in the present situation, and although no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups, there is no way to define the quantity of the number of cigarettes being smoked that made the groups equal. For all the researcher knows the mean number of cigarettes smoke by each group might well have been 1 or 101 cigarettes. Again, for this very reason an explanation for failing to reject the null hypothesis cannot be given. The other statistically significant phenomenon found in the present research investigation...

The statistical significance reported was above the.05 alpha level which indicates that a statistical significance exists and the null hypothesis can be rejected in favor of the alternate hypothesis. The reason for the statistically significant positive correlation is generally attributed to length of smoking time and reason for smoking. The study revealed that, high school females, with a grade point average of ____, is positively correlated to college female smokers with a grade point average of ____. What is important here is to seek reasons as to why certain grade point averages correlate positively from one group to another. Once reasons are delivered then grade point averages of high school female smokes will become a "smoking gun" with respect to predicting the grade point levels reached by…
