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...
If your study had a power of .80, which of the following statements would be correct? a. There is an 80% chance of committing a Type I error b. There is a 20% chance of committing a Type I error c. There is an 80% chance of finding a relationship or difference that actually exists in the real world. d. There is a .80 probability of correctly failing to reject a true null hypothesis.
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...
α is the probability of a Type I error, which occurs when we accept the alternative H1 when the null hypothesis Ho is true. True False A Type II error occurs when when a false null hypothesis is rejected. True False If a null hypothesis is rejected at the 5% significance level but not at the 1% significance level, then the p-value of the test is less than 1%. True False The power of a test is the probability of...
Which of the following is a TRUE statement about hypothesis testing? The probability of a Type I error plus the probability of a Type II error always equals one. The power of a test concerns its ability to detect a null hypothesis. If there is sufficient evidence to reject a null hypothesis at the 5% level, then there is sufficient evidence to reject it at the 10% level. Whether to use a one-sided or a two-sided test is typically decided...
Which of the following statements describe a Type II error? astion 11 yet swered rked out of Flag estion Select one: a. Stating that there was an effect when actually there was no effect. O b. Stating that there was no effect when in fact there was an effect. c. Saying that a person is guilty as charged when in fact the person is innocent O d. A researcher rejects a true null hypothesis. RE ion 12 Confidence intervals are...
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.
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....
Choose the correct definition of significance level from the
list below.
A significance level is
Option 1 and 5 are WRONG
Choose the correct definition of significance level from the list below A significance level is the probability of failing to reject the null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is true. the minimum acceptable chance of making a type I error. O the probability that an event occurred as a result of a causative factor rather than by chance. the...
In order to test whether a certain coin is fair, it is tossed ten times and the number of heads (X) is counted. Let p be the "head probability". We wish to test the null hypothesis: p = 0.5 against the alternative hypothesis: p > 0.5 at a significance level of 5%. (a) Suppose we will reject the null hypothesis when X is smaller than h. Find the value of h. (b) What is the probability of committing a type...
