Question

The level of significance is the a. same as the p-value. b. maximum allowable probability of Type I error. c. same as the confidence coefficient. d. maximum allowable probability of Type II error.

Answer 1

Answer:

The level of significance is the

b. maximum allowable probability of Type I error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The significance level provides the maximum probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.  It is the same as a type I error (also known as false-positive).  This error occurs when a researcher or investigator rejects a true null hypothesis that is supposed to be accepted.  It is the opposite of a type II error (false-negative), which occurs when the researcher fails to reject a false null hypothesis.
