Educators are testing a new program designed to help children improve their reading skills. The null hypothesis of the test is that the program does not help children improve their reading skills. For the educators, the more consequential error would be that the program does not help children improve their reading skills but the test indicated that it does help. Which of the following should the researchers do to avoid the more consequential error? * A) Increase the significance level to increase the probability of Type I error. B) Increase the significance level to decrease the probability of Type I error. C) Decrease the significance level to increase the probability of Type I error. D) Decrease the significance level to decrease the probability of Type I error.
