Question

What is the effect of decreasing the alpha level (for example, from a = .05 to a = .01)? it decreases the probability of a type i error. it decreases the size of the critical region. it decreases the probability that the sample will fall into the critical region. all of the other options are results of decreasing alpha?

Answer 1

The effect of decreasing the alpha level from 0.05 to 0.01. it decreases the probability that the sample will fall into the critical region, it decreases the probability of a Type I error, and it decreases the size of the critical region.
Therefore, the answer is that all of other options are results of decreasing alpha.
