English Other Medical (general)
The level of significance was set at a two-tailed P value inferior to 0.05.

Estou a revisar a seguinte frase, e estou incerto sobre a colocação de "at a" neste contexto. Gostaria de saber se a construção está correta, ou de obter alguma sugestão.

many thanks
Está correto, sim. Diria inclusive que é a construção "de praxe".

Pessoalmente, eu usaria "...set at a two-tailed P-value of <0.05"

ou

"...set at P<0.05 (two-tailed test)",

mas quanto ao "at [a]", está certíssimo.

Note from asker:
Yes, it's correct. I should've described it in English as well. I'm proofreading a text and that construction made me doubtful. Many thanks
