SOLUTION: In 1,000 samples, assuming that H0 is true, how many times would you expect to commit Type I error if (a) α = .05, (b) α = .01, and (c) α = .001.

Question 130047: In 1,000 samples, assuming that H0 is true, how many times would you expect to commit Type I
error if (a) α = .05, (b) α = .01, and (c) α = .001.

In 1,000 samples, assuming that H0 is true, 
how many times would you expect to commit Type I
error if (a) α = .05, 

1000(.05) = 50 times 

(b) α = .01, 

1000(.01) = 10 times 


and (c) α = .001.

1000(.001) = 1 time .
