Assertion (A) : The power of a statistical test is the probability, given that null hypothesis is
false, of obtaining sample results that will lead to its rejection.
Reason (R) : The larger the sample size, the greater is the power of the statistical test.
Codes :
(1) Both (A) and (R) are correct.
(2) Both (A) and (R) are incorrect.
(3) (A) is correct, and (R) is incorrect.
(4) (A) is incorrect and (R) is correct

Arrange in correct sequence the steps for testing Statistical Hypothesis :

I. A random sample is drawn from population.
II. Specify the level of significance.
III. Value of the sample statistic is obtained.
IV. Obtained sample statistic is examined with the random sampling
distribution of the statistic under consideration.
V. Formulate Null Hypothesis about a parameter of the population, along
with an alternate hypothesis.
VI. Retain Null Hypothesis if particular sample outcome is in line with the
expected outcomes, otherwise reject it and retain alternate hypothesis.
