Question
How are the rejection regions, the probability of a Type I error, the level of significance, and the alpha level related?
Step 1
Rejection regions: These are the areas in the tail(s) of a sampling distribution where we would reject the null hypothesis if the test statistic falls within these regions. In other words, if the test statistic is in the rejection region, we have enough evidence Show more…

Describe the connection between the alpha level, the size of the critical region, and the risk of a Type I error?
If the alpha level is changed from α = 0.05 to α = 0.01, what happens to the boundaries for the critical region? What happens to the probability of a Type I error?
