Match the following items of List-I and List-II with regard to hypothesis-testing and indicate the code of correct matching.
List – I
List – II a. The ability of test to reject the null hypothesis when it is false. i. Level of significance
b. The probability of accepting a false null hypothesis. ii. Type I error c. The probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis due to sampling error.
iii. Type II error
d. The probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis.
iv. Power of a test
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
In statistical hypothesis testing: the ability of a test to correctly reject a false null hypothesis (1 - β) is the Power of a Test (iv); the probability of accepting a false null hypothesis (β) is a Type II error (iii); the maximum probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis due to sampling fluctuation (α) sets the Level of Significance (i); and the act/probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis is a Type I error (ii).
