According to the steps of hypothesis testing, if you are using an independent samples t test, which of the following describes your procedure: A. Calculate your t test score, determine the degrees of freedom, run the statistical program and get the p value, reject the null hypothesis if the p is greater than the alpha level. B. Select your significance level, determine the degrees of freedom, calculate your t test score, get the critical t value, reject the null hypothesis if the calculated t value is less than the critical t value. C. State your null and alternative hypotheses, determine the degrees of freedom, calculate your t test score, reject the null hypothesis if the p value is greater than the significance/alpha level. D. State the null and the alternative hypotheses; set the alpha level; conduct the statistical test and obtain the p value based on your empirical data; compare your p value to the alpha level and make a decision (1. reject the null versus 2. fail to reject the null); last, interpret findings.
