Table : TABLE F.1. The Format for the Results of a Hypothesis Test There is a general format for reporting the results of hypothesis tests. The symbol for the statistic is followed by the degrees of freedom in parentheses, then the value of the test statistic, and finally the exact p value associated with that test statistic. This table presents the way that format would be implemented for several of the test statistics discussed in this text. (Note that you will only have the exact p value if you use software. If you conduct a test by hand, you may report whether the p value is greater than or less than 0.05.)

Symbol	Degrees of Freedom	Value of the Test Statistic	Information About the Cutoff	Effective Size	Example
z	(df)	= XX,	p = 0.XX	d = XX	z(54) = 0.60, p = 0.45, d = 0.08
t	(df)	= XX,	p = 0.XX	d = XX	t(146) = 2.29, p = 0.024, d = 0.50
F	(df_between, df_within)	= XX,	p = 0.XX	R² = XX	F(2, 142) = 6.63, p = 0.002, R² = 0.09
χ²	(df, N = XX)	= XX,	p = 0.XX	V = XX	χ²(1, N = 147) = 0.58, p = 0.447, V = 0.06
T	None	= XX,	p = 0.XX	None	T = 7, p = 0.04
U	None	= XX,	p = 0.XX	None	U = 19, p = 0.14
