Question
Select all correct statement(s). Note that incorrectly-selected statements will draw penalty.
Group of answer choices
We know the probability of making a Type I error given that the null is true.
The null hypothesis is rejected if the p-value is lower than the level of significance.
For an upper-tail test, the 1% critical value must be greater than the 5% critical value.
We know the probability of making a Type II error if the null is known to be false.
Once the null hypothesis is rejected at 1%, it is unnecessary to test at 5%.
When other factors remain the same, the lower the level of significance the lower the power.
The critical value method and the p-value method can lead to a different conclusions from each other.
The lower the power the lower the probability of Type II error.
Solution
The correct statements are:
- We know the probability of making a Type I error given that the null is true.
- The null hypothesis is rejected if the p-value is lower than the level of significance.
- For an upper-tail test, the 1% critical value must be greater than the 5% critical value.
- Once the null hypothesis is rejected at 1%, it is unnecessary to test at 5%.
- When other factors remain the same, the lower the level of significance the lower the power.
The incorrect statements are:
- We know the probability of making a Type II error if the null is known to be false. (This is incorrect because the probability of making a Type II error is not known, it depends on the true value of the parameter being tested)
- The critical value method and the p-value method can lead to a different conclusions from each other. (This is incorrect because both methods should lead to the same conclusion)
- The lower the power the lower the probability of Type II error. (This is incorrect because the power of a test is the probability that it correctly rejects a false null hypothesis. Therefore, the lower the power, the higher the probability of a Type II error)
