If H 0 is true and we reject it, we have made a Type I error.

The sign test can be used for _________.

If alpha equals 0.05 and the probability level of your experiment is 0.04, you would _________.

The probability of making a Type I error increases with independent replication.

For any given obtained result, a one tail p-level is

It is always appropriate to use a directional alternative hypothesis.

In the repeated measures design, _________.

A psychologist is interested in whether hypnosis affects brain dominance. Twelve college students from the freshmen class are randomly sampled for an experiment. The experiment has two conditions which are given on different days. In condition 1, the students are hypnotized and then given a test which measures the relative dominance of the right and left hemispheres. The higher the score, the more dominant is the right hemisphere. In condition 2, the same students are given the test again, only this time they are not hypnotized but are in their normal state of consciousness. The following scores are obtained. Using a = 0.05 2 tail , your conclusion is _________.

If H₀ is true and you retain H₀ in your experiment you have made a Type II error.

In an experiment with a repeated measures design _________.

A psychologist is interested in whether hypnosis affects brain dominance. Twelve college students from the freshmen class are randomly sampled for an experiment. The experiment has two conditions which are given on different days. In condition 1, the students are hypnotized and then given a test which measures the relative dominance of the right and left hemispheres. The higher the score, the more dominant is the right hemisphere. In condition 2, the same students are given the test again, only this time they are not hypnotized but are in their normal state of consciousness. The following scores are obtained. The population to which these results apply is _________.

If the alternative hypothesis states that alcohol affects short-term memory, the null hypothesis states _________.

What do we mean by "state of reality?"

The sign test analyzes both the magnitude and direction of the data.

The nondirectional alternative hypothesis is _________.

If a = 0.05 and chance alone is operating, it is reasonable to expect that on the average one would make one Type I error in every 20 experiments.

The sign test ignores the magnitude of the difference scores.
