the null hypothesis is a type 1 error. These errors are not avoidable and are part of statistical testing‚ but we can lessen the occurrence by setting the significance at a lower level. However‚ by setting the significance level lower; let us say .001‚ we then increase the chance of type 2 errors. Failing to correctly reject the null hypothesis creates a type 2 error‚ this is because; according to Aron (2009) “with an extreme significance level like .001‚ even if the research hypothesis is true‚

Sweetening Statistics Sandeep Agrawal Professor Dr. M. Reza Zomorrodian MAT300 March 12‚ 2013 Abstract The following assessment investigates the practices involved in this semester’s statistical M&M evaluation. The paper initially describes the individual random samples taken and then combined into the class’ data set. Then the totals‚ their proportions‚ and some other descriptive statistics are detailed before examining the confidence intervals for the proportions. The next

states‚ “we determine statistical significance by using probability to quantify the likelihood that a result may have occurred by chance‚” (Bennett‚ Briggs‚ Triola. 2009‚ p. 235). Testing a hypothesis is required for all professionals who wish to practice in an evidence-based system. The left and right tailed hypothesis tails illustrate critical values‚ which lead to decisions from practitioners. I chose an article published in Public Health Nutrition: Parenting practices are associated with fruit

Sampling methods There are 4 basic sampling methods we have learned do far: simple random sampling‚ stratified sampling‚ clusters and systematic sampling. When we do experiments we need to use the right sampling method in order to make the experiment useful and successful. First‚ simple random sampling; it gives a sample selected in a way that gives every different sample of size n an equal chance of being selected. Second‚ stratified sampling; it divides a population into subgroups and then takes
