    This document discusses statistical tools and types of variables. It explains that variables can be manipulated and controlled. Variables are classified as nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio and different statistical measures of central tendency should be used depending on the variable type, such as using the mode for nominal variables and the mean for interval/ratio variables that are not skewed. It also discusses alpha levels for hypothesis testing, noting the conventional alpha level of 0.05, and whether the null or alternative hypothesis would be rejected or accepted depending on if the p-value is higher or lower than 0.05.

    Errors in Hypothesis Testing

    The alpha level may range from .10 to .01, but by convention it is set at .05.

    *.05 higher -rejected null hypothesis ; Accepted alternative hypothesis


    *.05 lower - Accepted null hypothesis; Rejected alternative hypothesis
