To test the claim (at 1% significance) that the proportion of voters who smoked cannabis frequently was lower among conservatives, the hypotheses were in the hypothesis test about cannabis use by conservatives and liberals, the p-value is extremely small. which of the following errors is possible in this situation?

a. type i only
b. type ii only
c. type i and type ii
d. neither type i nor type ii

A. TYPE 1 ERROR only

Step-by-step explanation:

In general terms:

‘a hypothesis has been rejected when it should have been accepted’. When this occurs, it is called a type I error, and,

‘a hypothesis has been accepted when it should have been rejected’.

When this occurs, it is called a type II error,

When testing a hypothesis, the largest value of probability which is acceptable for a type I error is called the level of significance of the test. The level of significance is indicated by the symbol α (alpha) and the levels commonly adopted are 0.1,0.05,0.01, 0.005 and 0.002.

A level of significance of 1%,say,0.01 means that 1 times in 100 the hypothesis has been rejected when it should have been accepted.

In significance tests, the following terminology is frequently adopted:

(i) if the level of significance is 0.01 or less, i.e. the confidence level is 9 9% or more, the results are considered to be highly significant, i.e. the results are considered likely to be correct,

(ii) if the level of significance is 0.05 or between 0.05and0.01,i.e.theconfidencelevelis95%or between 95% and 99%, the results are considered to be probably significant, i.e. the results are probably correct,

(iii) if the level of significance is greater than 0.05, i.e. the confidence level is less than 95%, the results are considered to be not significant, that is, there are doubts about the correctness of the results obtained.

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b
