Questions

Question 1 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In hypothesis testing, what is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true?

  1. Type I Error
  2. Type II Error
  3. P-value
  4. Significance Level
Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the probability of failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is actually false?

  1. Type I Error
  2. Type II Error
  3. P-value
  4. Significance Level
Question 3 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In hypothesis testing, the significance level is the probability of:

  1. Rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true
  2. Failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is false
  3. Making a correct decision
  4. Making an incorrect decision
Question 4 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The p-value is the probability of:

  1. Rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true
  2. Failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is false
  3. Making a correct decision
  4. Making an incorrect decision
Question 5 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

If the p-value is less than the significance level, then:

  1. We reject the null hypothesis
  2. We fail to reject the null hypothesis
  3. We make a correct decision
  4. We make an incorrect decision
Question 6 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

If the p-value is greater than the significance level, then:

  1. We reject the null hypothesis
  2. We fail to reject the null hypothesis
  3. We make a correct decision
  4. We make an incorrect decision
Question 7 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The power of a hypothesis test is the probability of:

  1. Rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true
  2. Failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is false
  3. Making a correct decision
  4. Making an incorrect decision
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which of the following is NOT a type of hypothesis testing?

  2. Two-sample t-test
  3. Analysis of variance (ANOVA)
  4. Regression analysis
Question 9 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In a two-sample t-test, the null hypothesis is that:

  1. The means of the two populations are equal
  2. The means of the two populations are different
  3. The variances of the two populations are equal
  4. The variances of the two populations are different
Question 10 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In an analysis of variance (ANOVA), the null hypothesis is that:

Which of the following is NOT a common misconception about hypothesis testing?

  1. The p-value is the probability of the null hypothesis being true
  2. The significance level is the probability of making a Type I error
  3. The power of a hypothesis test is the probability of making a Type II error
  4. Hypothesis testing is always a binary decision
Question 13 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
