Question

1. In hypothesis testing, the hypothesis that is assumed to be true for the purpose of testing is called the hypothesis 2. (Circle the correct response) In hypothesis testing, critical values used to make a rejection decision regarding the null hypothesis are determined by the nature of the hypothesis test (two-tail vs. one-tail) and the d. significance level a. sample size b. population parameter c. target value 3. (Circle the correct response) In the process of hypothesis testing, the test statistic is a. calculated based on a sample and the null hypothesis b. assumed C. calculated based on critical values d. determined by the nature of the test (left-tail, right-tail, two-tail) (Circle the correct response) In hypothesis testing, what is a Type 1 Error? 4. a. Miscalculating the test statistic b. Rejecting a true null hypothesis c. Not rejecting a false null hypothes is d. Accepting an alternative hypothesis 5. (Circle the correct response) In hypothesis testing, the probability of committing a Type 1 Error is called the a. Confidence level b.Error level c. Significance level d. Rejection value 6. True or False: Hypothesis testing removes all doubt regarding the value of the population parameter in question.
