a. |
Type I Error |
|
b. |
Type II Error |
|
c. |
Correct conclusion and Power has been found |
|
d. |
Potentially correct conclusion |
Solution :
This is the type I error .
a)
Research rejects the null hypothesis the null is true .
If in reality (i.e., nature) the null is true, but the research rejects the null hypothesis, the researcher has made a Type I error .
If in reality (i.e., nature) the null is true, but the research rejects the null hypothesis,...
If the null hypothesis is rejected when the null hypothesis is true, what type of error, if any, has been made? Type I error Type II error Correct decision Type error
In hypothesis testing, if the null hypothesis has NOT been rejected when the alternative hypothesis is true, a. a Type II error has been committed b. a Type I error has been committed c. the correct decision has been made d. either a Type I or Type II error has been committed

A researcher claims that 45% of students drop out of college. She conducts a hypothesis test and rejects the null hypothesis. What type of error could have been committed here? A. Power of the test B. Type II C. There are never errors in hypothesis testing D. Type I
You are testing the null hypothesis µ=150 versus the two tailed alternative. You reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. If in reality, µ does equal 150, you have made a : A. Correct Decision B. Type II Error C. Type I Error
1) After a scientist conducts research and reaches a conclusion about the null hypothesis, is there any way for the scientist to know if he/she has made either a Type I or Type II error? If there is a way for the scientist to know, explain what that is and how it will show the scientist if he/she made either type of error. If there is NOT a way for the scientist to know, explain why not. NOTE: When giving...
1. In testing hypotheses, the researcher initially assumes that the alternative hypothesis is true and uses the sample data to reject it. True False 2. The first step in testing a hypothesis is to establish a true null hypothesis and a false alternative hypothesis. True False 6. The power curve provides the probability of Correctly accepting the null hypothesis Incorrectly accepting the null hypothesis Correctly rejecting the alternative hypothesis Correctly rejecting the null hypothesis 7. Suppose that Ho: μ ≤...
Question 25 3 pts Suppose that the null hypothesis is that the medical treatment is not effective. Suppose that the medical treatment is truly effective, but a researcher does not reject the null hypothesis at the 5- percent level of significance. This researcher has conducted a test with high statistical power. is guilty of a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. has made a Type 1 error. has made a Type 2 error.
A type I error is where we reject a true null hypothesis (Ho). a. True b. False A type II error is where we fail to reject a false null hypothesis (Ho). a. True b. False A claim may go in either in the Ho (null hypothesis) or Ha (H1, alternate hypothesis) depending on the key words in the statistical word problem. a. True b. False
A sporting goods store believes the average age of its customers is 34 or less, but a competitor wants to challenge this. A random sample of 38 customers was surveyed, and the average customer age was found to be 37.5 years. Assume the standard deviation for customer age is 7.0 years. Using a = 0.05, complete parts a through d below a. Does the sample provide enough evidence to refute the age claim made by the sporting goods store? Determine...
