When in hypothesis testing (alpha) increases (1-beta)?
Correct answer: C. Increases
- A. Decrease
- B. Equal
- C. Increases
- D. None of these
Explanation
With the sample size and test design fixed, increasing alpha generally makes rejection easier, which increases power, 1-beta. This illustrates the usual trade-off between Type I error and Type II error.
