question
If a hypothesis test has a Type I error probability of .05, that means:
answer
if the null hypothesis is true, it will be rejected 5% of the time.
question
For a two-tailed test with a sample size of 40, the null hypothesis will not be rejected at a 5% level of significance if the test statistic is:
answer
between -1.960 and 1.960, exclusively.
question
An example of statistical inference is:
answer
hypothesis testing.
question
A two-tailed test is a:
answer
hypothesis test in which rejection region is in both tails of the sampling distribution.
question
In order to test the hypotheses H0: μ ≤ 100 and Ha: μ > 100 at an α level of significance, the null hypothesis will be rejected if the test statistic z is:
answer
≥ zα
question
The level of significance is the:
answer
maximum allowable probability of Type I error.
question
When the p-value is used for hypothesis testing, the null hypothesis is rejected if:
answer
p-value ≤ α
question
In hypothesis testing, the hypothesis tentatively assumed to be true is:
answer
the null hypothesis.
question
The level of significance in hypothesis testing is the probability of:
answer
rejecting a true null hypothesis.
question
The error of rejecting a true null hypothesis is:
answer
a Type I error.
question
The probability of making a Type I error is denoted by:
answer
α
question
In tests about a population proportion, p0 represents the:
answer
hypothesized population proportion.
question
If a hypothesis test leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis, a:
answer
Type I error may have been committed.
question
In hypothesis testing, the alternative hypothesis is:
answer
the hypothesis concluded to be true if the null hypothesis is rejected.
question
If the cost of a Type I error is high, a smaller value should be chosen for the:
answer
level of significance.
question
A two-tailed test is performed at a 5% level of significance. The p-value is determined to be .09. The null hypothesis:
answer
should not be rejected.
question
Two approaches to drawing a conclusion in a hypothesis test are:
answer
p-value and critical value.
question
In hypothesis testing, the critical value is:
answer
a number that establishes the boundary of the rejection region.
question
For a two-tailed hypothesis test about a population mean, the null hypothesis can be rejected if the confidence interval:
answer
does not include μ0.
question
As a general guideline, the research hypothesis should be stated as the:
answer
alternative hypothesis.
question
A p-value is the:
answer
probability, when the null hypothesis is true, of obtaining a sample result that is at least as unlikely as what is observed.
question
If a hypothesis is not rejected at a 5% level of significance, it will:
answer
also not be rejected at the 1% level.
question
When the rejection region is in the lower tail of the sampling distribution, the p-value is the area under the curve:
answer
less than or equal to the test statistic.
