7. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false and give your reasons A. increase in the sample size leads to an increase in the power of a test B. Exact knowledge of allows for smaller rejection regions C. Z tests D. Smaller p values

" - True. Increasing the sample size reduces the standard error, which makes it easier to detect a true effect if it exists. This increases the power of the test, which is the probability of correctly rejecting a false null hypothesis. Show more…

(10 marks) State whether the following statements true or false 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. If the null hypothesis is false, β is a maximum when the true value of a parameter approaches the hypothesized value. The greater the distance between the true value and the hypothesized value, the smaller β will be. 5. The power of a test is the probability of rejecting H0 given that a specific alternative is true.

4.32 True or false. Determine if the following statements are true or false, and explain your reasoning: If false, state how it could be corrected. (a) If a given value (for example, the null hypothesized value of a parameter) is within a 95% confidence interval, it will also be within a 99% confidence interval. (b) Decreasing the significance level (a) will increase the probability of making a Type 1 Error. (c) Suppose the null hypothesis is μ = 5 and we fail to reject Ho. Under this scenario, the true population mean is 5. (d) If the alternative hypothesis is true, then the probability of making a Type 2 Error and the power of a test add up to 1. (e) With large sample sizes, even small differences between the null value and the true value of the parameter, a difference often called the effect size, will be identified as statistically significant.

True or false, and state why: a. The significance level of a statistical test is equal to the probability that the null hypothesis is true. b. If the significance level of a test is decreased, the power would be expected to increase. c. If a test is rejected at the significance level $\alpha,$ the probability that the null hypothesis is true equals $\alpha .$ d. The probability that the null hypothesis is falsely rejected is equal to the power of the test. f. A type II error is more serious than a type I error. g. The power of a test is determined by the null distribution of the test statistic. h. The likelihood ratio is a random variable. e. A type I error occurs when the test statistic falls in the rejection region of the test.
