T/F The null hypothesis True

typically corresponds to a
presumed default state of
nature.

T/F The alternative False

hypothesis typically agrees
with the status quo.

T/F On the basis of sample False

information, we either
"accept the null
hypothesis" or "reject the
null hypothesis."

T/F As a general guideline, True

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.

T/F In a one-tailed test, the True

rejection region is located
under one tail (left or right)
of the corresponding
probability distribution,
while in a two
two- tailed test
this region is located
under both tails.

T/F A Type 1 error is True

committed when we reject
the null hypothesis which is
actually true.

T/F A Type 2 error is made False

when we reject the null
hypothesis and the null
hypothesis is actually false.

T/F For a given sample True

size, any attempt to reduce
the likelihood of making
one type of error (Type 1
of Type 2) will increase the
likelihood of the other
error.

T/F A hypothesis test True

regarding the population
mean is based on the
sampling distribution of
the sample mean.

T/F Under the assumption True

that the null hypothesis is
true as a equality, the p-
value is the likelihood of
observing a sample mean
that is at least as extreme
as the one derived from
the given sample.

T/F The critical value False

approach specifies a range
of value, 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.

The null hypothesis in a The default state of nature

hypothesis test refers
to__________.

In general, the null and Mutually exclusive

alternative hypotheses
are__________.

The alternative hypothesis Contests the status quo for which a corrective action may be
typically________. required.

Which of the following Right-tailed, left-tailed, and two

does one define the
population parameter of
interest?

answers represents the the null hypothesis when it is true
objective of a hypothesis
test?

When conducting a Rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true

hypothesis test, which of
the following decisions
represents an error?

sample size, if ALPHA is
increased from 0.05 to 0.10,

increases, the prob of incorrectly failing to reject the null
decreases, the prob of Type 2 error decreases
