Which statement is true considering a significance level of 5%?
A. The result is statistically significant, which implies that wearing a watch helps people manage their time better.
B. The result is not statistically significant, which implies that wearing a watch does not help people manage their time better.
C. The result is statistically significant, which implies that wearing a watch does not help people manage their time better.
D. The result is not statistically significant, which implies that this result could be due to random chance.

Answer (2)

A result that is not statistically significant at the 5% level indicates we cannot conclude that wearing a watch has a real effect on time management. This implies that any differences observed could be due to random chance. Statistically significant results would indicate a meaningful effect, which is not indicated in this case. ;

The significance level of 5% helps to evaluate whether results are likely due to chance. If the result is not statistically significant, we cannot conclude that wearing a watch aids time management, as any observed differences could simply be random. Therefore, the correct choice is D, indicating the lack of significant results suggests random chance could explain any differences observed.
