An inexperienced researcher runs an experiment and sets his alpha level at .40 because he can't wait to get his firstsignificant

result.While he may indeed get a significant result, what are the potential problems?

A potential problem is that you are willing to accept a <u>5% </u>chance of being wrong if you reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis if it is true. For example, a significance level of 0.05 indicates a 5% risk of concluding that there is a difference when there is actually no difference. Rejecting the true null hypothesis results in a Type I error.

The smaller the value of α the more difficult it is to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, choosing a low value for α can reduce the likelihood of Type I errors. The result here is that if the null hypothesis is false, it may be more difficult to reject using a lower value for α. The alpha value or statistical significance threshold is arbitrary. Which value to use depends on your field of study.

For a vehicle to negotiate a banked curve in poor weather conditions, where the force of friction f = 0, for a given velocity v
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

R=240m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity v=25m/s

Force of friction f = 0

Angle \theta=15

Generally the equation for  Radius of curvature is mathematically given by

R=frac{v^2}{tan\theta *g}

R=frac{25^2}{tan 15 *9.81}

R=240m
