Suppose that a hypothesis test is to be carried out by using á = 0.05. What is the probability of committing a type I error? (Give your answer correct to two decimal places.)
I can not figure out the formula for this I have tried several and they do not work.
To calculate the probability of committing a type I error, you need to use the significance level (α) of the hypothesis test. In this case, α is given as 0.05.
A type I error occurs when you reject a null hypothesis that is actually true. In hypothesis testing, the significance level represents the maximum acceptable probability of committing a type I error.
To find the probability of a type I error, you simply use the significance level (α) as your probability value. In this case, the probability of committing a type I error is 0.05 (or 5%) since α = 0.05.
Therefore, the probability of committing a type I error in this hypothesis test is 0.05 or 5%.
