Þorgerður, a scientist, used a paired t-test to examine the effectiveness of a drug she is
developing. She obtained a p-value =% 3D 0.005 and concluded that the drug was effective
(she used a = 0.05).
Suppose the drug does not actually work. Which of the following statements is correct?
1. Þorgerður should not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is too large.
2. Type I error occurred.
3. An error of type II occurred.
4. There was no error
Which one of the following statements is false?
With 95% confidence, we estimate thatμNoInt is somewhere between -0.77 and 0.29.
On average, the brain size of the participants in the NoIntervention group decreased.
x¯NoInt=−0.24.
The estimate, x¯NoInt, is 0.94 standard errors below the hypothesised value of 0.
The margin of error is 0.26.
