a statistical professor works tirelessly to catch students cheating on his exams. he has particular routes for his teaching assistants to patrol, an elevated chair to ensure an unobstructed view of all of his students, and even a video recording of the exam in case additional evidence needs to be collected. he estimates that he catches 95% of students who cheat in his class, but 1% of the time he accuses a student of cheating and he is actually incorrect. Consider the null hypothesis, "the student is not cheating". what is the probability of a Type 1 error

1%

consider the following competing hypothesis: Ho:u=0 and Ha: u≠0. the value of the test statistic is z=-1.38. if we chose a 5% significance level, then we_

do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the population ean is not significantly different from zero

A type II error occurs when we

a university is interested in promoting graduates of its honors program by establishing that the mean GPA of these graduates exceeds 3.50. a sample of 36 honors students is taken and is found to have a mean GPA equal to 3.60. the population standard deviation is assumed to equal 0.40 At a 5% significance level, the decision is to?

do not reject the null, we cannot conclude that the mean GPA is significantly greater than 3.50

True or false: a type II error is made when we reject the null hypothesis and the null hypothesis is actually false

false

True or false: on the basis of sample information, we either "accept the null hypothesis" or "reject the null hypothesis"

false

True or false: the alternative hypothesis typically agrees with the status quo

false

True or false: the critical value approach specifies a range of values, also called the rejection region, such that if the value of the test statistic falls into this range, we do not reject the null hypothesis

false

in general, the null and alternative hypotheses are

mutually exclusive

when we reject the null hypothesis when it is actually false we have committed

no error

if the p-value for a hypothesis test is 0.07 and the chosen level of significance is a=.05, then the correct conclusion is to

not reject the null hypothesis

a one-tailed hypothesis test of the population mean has

only one critical value

when conducing a hypothesis test for a given sample size, if the probability of a type I error decreases, then the

probability of incorrectly accepting the null increases

what is the decision rule when using the p-value approach to hypothesis testing?

reject Ho if the p-value < alpha

if the p-value for the hypothesis test is 0.027 and the chosen level of significance is a=0.05, the the correct conclusion is to

reject the null hypothesis

True or false: under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true as a quality, the p-value is the likelihood of observing a sample mean that is at least as extreme as the one derived from a given sample.

true

true or false: a type 1 error is committed when we reject the null hypothesis which is actually true

true

true or false: as a general guideline, we use the alternative hypothesis as a vehicle to establish something new, or contest the status quo, for which a corrective action may be required
