PROBLEM SET NO. 3

TEST I. Identify the following. Write your answer on the space provided. Strictly no erasure.
_____________________ 1. This is the set of values of the test statistic that leads to acceptance of the null hypothesis.
_____________________ 2. It is the hypothesis test used when the alternative hypothesis is directional.
_____________________ 3. It is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when in fact it is true.
_____________________ 4. It is a hypothesis test where the rejection region lies at both end tails of the distribution.
_____________________ 5. A statement of no difference that you want to test.
_____________________ 6. A statement believed to be true whenever the null hypothesis is rejected.

_____________________ 8. It is the value that divides the rejection region and non-rejection region.
_____________________ 9. The error when you do not reject the null hypothesis when in fact it is false.
_____________________10. Error committed when a researcher rejected the null hypothesis when in fact it is true.
