an alpha level of \(\alpha = .05\) means what: a. that the values of the data must fall within the 5\% critical range of the curve in order to be significant b. that 5\% of the data are not significantly different than the rest of the data c. that more than 5\% of the values are significantly different from the rest of the data d. that the values of the data must fall out of the 5\% critical range of the curve in order to be significant

We should not accept these results as being of any practical importance, however, until we also know ____.

What is the level of significance of a test of hypothesis? Choose the correct answer below: A. The level of significance, α, is the probability of committing a Type I error; rejecting the null hypothesis when it is, in fact, true. B. The level of significance, α, is the probability of committing a Type II error; not rejecting the null hypothesis when it is, in fact, false. C. The level of significance, α, is the probability of committing a Type II error; rejecting the null hypothesis when it is, in fact, true. D. The level of significance, α, is the probability of committing a Type I error; not rejecting the null hypothesis when it is, in fact, false. E. The level of significance, α, is the probability of committing a Type I error; rejecting the null hypothesis when it is, in fact, true.
