3. What is the probability of making a Type I error? How did you determine this?

4. Did the author conduct a power analysis to determine optimal sample size? If so, what is the target? If not, do you believe the study contained enough participants to drawn meaningful results? Why or why not?

5. Do the results support or refute the stated research hypothesis Do you agree with the conclusions? Why or why not?

4. Determine any answers to the results for the Research Question. Do you agree with the authors' conclusions? Why or why not?

5. Indicate if this study demonstrates credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. Why or why not?
