An experimenter is convinced that there is such a phenomenon as extrasensory perception. to determine this, a randomly selected group of subjects were given a test designed to show their ability. following the collection of the data a test of significance showed that the results were not significant at the 0.05 level of significance. undaunted, the experimenter repeated the experiment several times and finally obtained an experimental result with a p-value of 0.03. what can properly be said about this result?
a) the result should be published because it is an important finding in this subject area.
b) dhe p-value of 0.03 proves the experimenter's faith was justified.
c) the significant p-value proves that there is such a phenomenon as esp.
d) a p-value this small must have resulted because the claim of the existence of esp is true.
e) the experimenter is guilty of searching for significance and the result should be discounted.
