1)

a. If a researcher rejects a true null hypothesis, she has made a Type I error.
b. You know that the level of significance () of a test is 5%, you can tell that the
probability of committing a Type II error is Unknown.
c. It is possible to directly compare the results of a confidence interval estimate to the
results obtained by testing a null hypothesis if a two-tail test for is used.
d. The power of a statistical test is the probability of rejecting H0 when it is false.
e. True or false: For a given level of significance, if the sample size is increased but
summary statistics remain the same, the probability of committing a type I error will
increase.
2)
a. You know that the probability of committing a Type II error is 5%, you can tell that
the power of the test is 95%.
a. If a researcher rejects a true null hypothesis, she has made a Type I error.
b. If a researcher does not reject a false null hypothesis, she has made a Type II error.
c. The symbol for the power of a statistical test is 1- .
d. True or false: For a given level of significance, if the sample size is increased but the
summary of statistics remain the same, the probability of committing a type II error
will increase.
