Question

-In a hypothesis test, alpha = .01 and the p-value = .1. The correct conclusion is: 1)reject Ho, because we don't have enough evidence to say it's wrong. 2) reject Ho, because we have proven it right. 3) fail to reject Ho, because we don't have enough evidence to say it's wrong. 4) fail to reject Ho, because we have proven it right. -A person is on an internet page trying to decide whether or not to download a program. She is using the null hypothesis: "This program does not have a virus attached to it." In this situation, what would a type II error be?: 1)The program has a virus, and she thinks it does. 2)The program has a virus, and she thinks it doesn't. 3)The program does not have a virus, and she thinks it does. 4)The program does not have a virus, and she thinks it doesn't. - If the p-value of a test is .03, then you would 1)reject Ho if alpha = .1 but not for alpha = .05 or alpha = .01 2)reject Ho if alpha = .1 or .05 but not for alpha = .01 3)reject Ho if alpha = .1 or alpha = .05 or alpha = .01 4) not reject Ho for any of alpha = .1 or alpha = .05 or alpha = .01

Explanation / Answer

-In a hypothesis test, alpha = .01 and the p-value = .1. The correct conclusion is:

3) fail to reject Ho, because we don't have enough evidence to say it's wrong.

since p value is greater than alpha value

A person is on an internet page trying to decide whether or not to download a program. She is using the null hypothesis: "This program does not have a virus attached to it." In this situation, what would a type II error be?:

fail to reject null hypothesis when Ho is false

3)The program does not have a virus, and she thinks it does

If the p-value of a test is .03, then you would  not reject Ho for any of alpha = .1 or alpha = .05 or alpha = .01
