1. Which of the following statements are not generally true?
a. A type I error is usually more serious than a type II error.
b. A type II error is usually more serious than a type I error.
c. A test with significance level is one for which the type I error probability is controlled at the specified level.
d. When an experiment and a sample size are fixed, then decreasing the size of the rejection region to obtain a smaller value of (probability of type I error) results in a larger value of (probability of type II error) for any particular parameter value consistent with the alternative hypothesis Ha .
e. None of the above statements are true.
and why?
1. Which of the following statements are not generally true? a. A type I error is...
State whether the following statements true or false, and Why? 1. The type I error and type II error are related. A decrease in the probability of one generally results in an increase in the probability of the other. 2. The size of the critical region, and therefore the probability of committing a type I error, can always be reduced by adjusting the critical value(s). 3. An increase in the sample size n will reduce α and β simultaneously. 4....
Consider the following four statements concerning hypothesis tests. I. We can decrease the probability of a Type II error by increasing the sample size. II. We can decrease the probability of a Type II error by decreasing the sample size. III. We can decrease the probability of a Type I error by increasing the level of significance . IV. We can decrease the probability of a Type I error by decreasing the level of significance . Which statements above are...
6. Which of the following statements about hypothesis testing are true? • A type I error occurs if H, is rejected when it is true. • A type II error occurs if He is rejected when it is true. • The power of a test is the probability of failing to reject H, when it is false.
6. Which of the following statements about hypothesis testing are true? • A type I error occurs if His rejected when it is true. • A type II error occurs if H, is reject ed when it is true, • The power of a test is the probability of failing to reject H, when it is false,
The notion of Type I and Type II Errors is very important in hypothesis testing. The Ho/Ha should be set up such that a Type I Error is more serious than a Type II Error. A common example used to discuss Type I and Type II errors is the example of a trial in the US. Under US law, a defendant is considered "innocent until proven guilty." You could set up this hypothesis test as follows: Ho: defendent is...
Which of the following statements is true about the P-value? A. It is the probability of committing type I error and it is the smallest significant level at which a null hypothesis would be rejected B. It is the probability of committing type I error and it is the largest significant level at which a null hypothesis would be rejected C. It is the probability of committing type II error and it is the smallest significant level at which a...
Let μ denote the true average radioactivity level (picocuries per liter). The value 5 pCi/L is considered the dividing line between safe and unsafe water. Would you recommend testing H0: μ = 5 versus Ha: μ > 5 or H0: μ = 5 versus Ha: μ < 5? Explain your reasoning. [Hint: Think about the consequences of a type I and type II error for each possibility.] ---One should test H0: μ = 5 versus Ha: μ < 5.A type...
a. Explain a Type II error and power in context of choosing a smaller level of significance. b. Explain a Type II error and power in context of a greater difference between the null hypothesis claim and the true value of the population parameter.
Which of the following statements is FALSE? a.) The power of a hypothesis test is the probability of not making a Type II error. b.) Alpha (α) is equal to the probability of making a Type I error. c.) The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true is called a Type I Error. d.) A smaller sample size would increase the effectiveness of a hypothesis test.
1. In hypothesis testing, which of the following statements is/are true? The test statistic can be smaller than 1.0. II. The p-value can never be larger than 1.0. II. The “p" in p-value stands for “practical.” O I, II and III are all true O ll only O I only Ill only O I and II are both true
