6Given below two statements - one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason(R):
Assertion (A): A researcher can draw a definitive conclusion even if there is little evidence to support it
Reason (R): Statistical test of significance helps a researcher in drawing logically correct inferences from the data. In the light of the above statements
choose the correct option:
  • Option : D
  • Explanation :
    A definitive conclusion is given decisively, with confidence and authority; and without any ambiguity, vagueness or uncertainty. This is possible only when there is definitive evidence to support the conclusion reached. So, Assertion (A) is false. A statistical test of significance is a formal procedure for comparing observed data with the hypothesis, to verify whether it is true. It helps the researcher in drawing logically correct inferences from the data. So, Reason (R) is true.
