A study of dog obedience training was completed. 40 dogs were trained using the K9 Complete Program. It was found that their mean skill value increased by 4.2 points (on a 10-point scale) after participating in the 6-month program. Statistical analysis was used to find that the likelihood of these results by chance is 1 out of 1000. Use sentences to explain each answer below. a) Do these results have statistical significance? Yes or No (circle one choice) Explain why this data has or does not have statistical significance. b) Do these results have practical significance? Yes or No (circle one choice) Explain why this data has or does not have practical significance.

A study of dog obedience training was completed. 40 dogs were trained using the K9 Complete Program. It was found that their mean skill value increased by 4.2 points (on a 10-point scale) after participating in the 6-month program. Statistical analysis was used to find that the likelihood of these results by chance is 1 out of 1000. Use sentences to explain each answer below. a) Do these results have statistical significance? Yes or No (circle one choice) Explain why this data has or does not have statistical significance. b) Do these results have practical significance? Yes or No (circle one choice) Explain why this data has or does not have practical significance.

Expert Solution
Step 1

No , the likelihood found  is by chance is 1 out of 1000

a)

as choose the dog 1 out of 1000 then the probability of dog completes K9 program is 0.1%

which is significantly less . Therefore thee is no statistical significance.
