suppose a hypothesis test was performed with a level of significance of 0.05. then if the null hypothesis is actually true, then there is a 5% chance that the researcher will end up rejecting the null hypothesis in error.



Answer :

The given statement that if the null hypothesis is actually true, then there is a 5% chance that the researcher will end up rejecting the null hypothesis in error is; TRUE

What is the conclusion of the hypotheses test?

Null hypothesis is defined as a type of statistical hypothesis that proposes that no statistical significance exists in a given set of observations.

Alternative hypothesis is defined as a statement used in statistical inference experiment that is contradictory to the null hypothesis .

Now, when the p-value is less than or equal to the significance level, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis but if  the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

In conclusion, if the null hypothesis is true, then it means that the p-value is greater than the significance level and as such there is only a 5% chance that the researcher will end up rejecting the null hypothesis in error.
