Question 69
a.

A hypothesis test at the 5% significance level leads to the rejection of H0H_0H0​. Explain why this does not prove that H1 H_1\,H1​ is true.

[2]
b.

Explain why lowering the significance level from 5% to 1% makes it harder to reject H0H_0H0​.

[2]
c.

For a two-tailed test on a binomial proportion at a nominal 5% significance level, the critical region chosen has an actual significance level of 2.97%. Explain why the two figures differ, and state the consequence for the test.
