Read the following hypotheses:
Confidence in recall differs depending on the level of stress.
Recall for participants in high-stress conditions will deteriorate over time.
Boys will have higher levels of confidence than girls.
In a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document, for each hypothesis listed above, indicate:
Describe how a Type I error might occur, given the context of the assignment. Describe how a Type II error might occur, given the context of the assignment (i.e., if my hypothesis was that women had higher levels of empathy than men, a Type I error might occur if I found significant results with women scoring higher on empathy than men, when, in the general population that is not the case; a Type II error might occur if I found no differences in empathy between men and women when, in the general population women score higher on empathy than men).
Whether the appropriate analysis would be a one-tailed test or a two-tailed test
Take a look at these hypotheses:
Depending on the level of stress, recall confidence varies.
Participants’ recall in high-stress situations will diminish with time.
Boys will have more self-assurance than girls.
For each of the above hypotheses, write the following in a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document:
Given the context of the assignment, describe how a Type I error might occur. Given the context of the assignment, explain how a Type II error might occur (i.e., if my hypothesis was that women had higher levels of empathy than men, a Type I error might occur if I found significant results with women scoring higher on empathy than men, when, in the general population that is not the case; a Type II error might occur if I found no differences in empathy between men and women when, in the general population women score higher on empathy than men).
Whether a one-tailed or two-tailed test would be the most appropriate analysis
