Question

Which of the following statements is true about the null hypothesis?  

 
Question 1 options:
 

It is a statement that directly contradicts the null hypothesis

 

Often includes a < or > sign or states that something is not equal

 

We determine whether or not to reject this statement based on the likelihood of the opposite hypothesis being true

 

It is a statement about the population parameter

 

Question 2

True or False?  A small p-value indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis

 
Question 2 options:
  True
  False
 

Question 3

 

Which statement is incorrect?

 
Question 3 options:
 
Strong evidence against the null is indicated by a p-value less than 0.05
 
Weak evidence against the null is indicated by a p-value greater than 0.05
 
Marginal evidence against the null is indicated by a p-value around 0.05
 

All are correct

 

Question 4

 

Which statement is NOT true?

 
Question 4 options:
 

Type I error occurs when we measure something to be false and it is true in reality

 

No error occurs when we measure something to be significant and it is also significant in reality

 

Type II error occurs when we accept something is true in reality and measure it to be false

 

No error occurs when we accurately measure something as false

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information:

Which of the following statements is true about the null hypothesis?  

It is a statement that directly contradicts the null hypothesis:

False. Alternative hypothesis is a statement that directly contradicts the null hypothesis.

 

Often includes a < or > sign or states that something is not equal

False. Alternative hypothesis includes < or > sign or states that something is not equal ()

 

We determine whether or not to reject this statement based on the likelihood of the opposite hypothesis being true:

False. The null and alternative hypothesis are statements regarding the differences or effects that occur in the population. We use sample data to test which statement ( i.e., the null hypothesis or alternative hypothesis) is most likely (technically we test the evidence against the null hypothesis).

P-value is a probability of obtaining the value of the test statistic (from sample results) or more extreme, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
