The main concern with lowering the probability of making a type I error is that it ______
A) increases the probability of making a type II error
B) decreases the probability of making a type II error
C) requires collecting more data
D) increases the likelihood of finding effects when they in fact do not exist
Type I Error
A statistical error occurring when a true null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected.
Type II Error
The error that occurs when a false null hypothesis is not rejected, meaning a true effect is missed.
Collecting Data
The process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest in an systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes.
- Determine methods to minimize Type I and Type II errors.
- Comprehend the principle of statistical power and its connection to hypothesis testing.
