-Cross-tabulation/Chi-square
-Correlation.
-Paired samples t-test.

What does p > .05 indicate about whether results from
an analysis are statistically significant or not?
-The notation p > .05 indicates a statistically significant
finding.
-The notation p > .05 does not indicate a statistically
significant finding.
