●● Which Type of error refers to the failure to reject the null hypothesis
when a difference exists?
Answer: Type II error. (conclude there is no difference when there is)
Explanation: The failure to reject the null hypothesis when a true
difference exists in the larger population refers to a type II error. The
null hypothesis states that the difference between 2 groups is the result
of random chance alone. The alternate hypothesis states that differences
within a sample are influenced by a non-random cause. Beta refers to the
probability of making a Type II error.
Type I error (conclude there is a difference when there is not) refers to
the rejection of the null hypothesis when no true difference exists in the
population.
Confounding refers to errors made as a result of the researcher failing to
account for an extraneous variable that directly or inversely correlates
with both the dependent and independent variables.
,Statistical power refers to the likelihood that a study will detect an effect
when there is an effect present. It is the probability that a test will reject
a false null hypothesis and is inversely related to the probability of
making a type II error.
Alpha refers to the probability of making a type I error.
