   Question

   Below is a small section from a research report on the level of employee satisfaction in a large organisation. A text and a number have been omitted from this research report.

   "The level of job satisfaction was measured by means of 8 questions. Each of these questions had the following five response options: totally disagree (1), disagree (2), disagree, disagree (3), agree (4), totally agree (5). A scale was constructed by taking the average score of these 8 items per respondent.

   The data from our sample showed that women differ significantly from men in the degree of satisfaction with their work. In fact, the calculation of [—text —] shows that the difference between the mean scores of the two groups is significantly different from [—number—]."

   What is the correct text and number?

   
   
   1. TRUE: Text: the 95% confidence interval. Number: 0.05.
   2. FALSE: Text: the 95% confidence interval. Number: 0.
   3. FALSE: Text: the Cronbach’s alpha. Number: 0,80.
   4. FALSE: Text: the significance level. Number: 0.
   5. FALSE: Text: the significance level. Number: 0,05
   6. FALSE: Text: the Cronbach’s alpha. Number: 0,05.
