Question

If a 1% level of significance is used to test a null hypothesis, there is a probability of __________ of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.

Answer 1

Answer:

If a 1% level of significance is used to test a null hypothesis, there is a probability of ____ less than 1%______ of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a hypothesis testing is done.

Level of significance used is 1%

i.e. alpha = 1%

When we do hypothesis test, we find out test statistic Z or t suitable for the test and find p value

If p value is < 1% we reject null hypothesis otherwise we accept null hypothesis.

So p value can be atmost 1% only for accepting null hypothesis.

So the answer is 1%

If a 1% level of significance is used to test a null hypothesis, there is a probability of ____less than 1%______ of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.
