Instructions 1. If you retain the null hypothesis when it is, in fact, true; have you made an error? If so, which one? 2. If you fail to reject the null hypothesis when it is, in fact, false; what type of error is this called? 3. If you reject the null hypothesis, when it is, in fact, true, what type of error have you committed?

If a test of hypothesis has a type 1 error of α of 0.01, it means: a. If the null hypothesis is true, you don't reject it 1% of the time. b. If the null hypothesis is true, you reject it 1% of the time. c. If the null hypothesis is false, you don't reject it 1% of the time. d. If the null hypothesis is false, you reject it 1% of the time.

1. If you reject the null hypothesis, does that mean you can be 100% certain that it is false? If not, what is the probability that it might still be true
Sri K.
If a hypothesis test has a Type I error probability (α) of 0.01, it means that: - if the null hypothesis is false, you reject it 1% of the time. - if the null hypothesis is false, you don't reject it 99% of the time. - if the null hypothesis is true, you don't reject it 99% of the time. - if the null hypothesis is true, you reject it 1% of the time.
