Question 1

What is a null hypothesis?

  • A statement of no effect
  • A statement of significant difference
  • A statement of expected outcomes

💡 Hint: Think about what the default assumption is.

Question 2

True or False: A p-value greater than the significance level means we reject the null hypothesis.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the rule connecting p-values with significance thresholds.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

During a clinical trial for a new drug, researchers establish α at 0.05. The p-value obtained is 0.07. What decision should be made regarding the null hypothesis, and what type of error could potentially occur?

💡 Hint: Reflect on the implications of your p-value in relation to the significance level.

Question 2

In testing a hypothesis about the average test scores of students, a researcher finds that their significance level leads to a 10% Type I error rate. What could be the potential impact of this error on educational policy decisions?

💡 Hint: Consider how policy changes based on faulty data could affect educational stakeholders.
