Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 15E
Alpha A researcher developing scanners to search for hidden weapons at airports has concluded that a new device is significantly better than the current scanner. He made this decision based on a test using α = 0.05. Would he have made the same decision at α = 0.10? How about α = 0.01? Explain.
