A researcher selects a sample of 16 women and asks them to rate how important a sense of humor is in someone they want a long-term relationship with. She records scores averaging 1.6 ± 0.8 (M ± SD) on a rating scale from –3 (not important at all) to +3 (very important). Assuming that an average score of 0 is the null hypothesis, test whether or not women find this trait important at a .05 level of significance.

A. Women found this trait to be important, and this result was significant, t(16) = 8.00, p < .05.
B. Women found this trait to be important, and this result was significant, t(15) = 8.00, p < .05.
C. Women did not find this trait to be important, p > .05.
