Match the situation to the result

• increasing the sample size
• causing the critical value to be farther out into the tail
• decreasing alpha
• increasing the known population SD

a. increases the likelihood of obtaining significant results

b. decreases the likelihood of obtaining significant results

Match the terms and concepts

• means there is less than 5% chance you have made a type I error (assuming alpha = .05)
• reject H₀
• _retain H₀
• likely when z-obtained is close to 0
• supports the H_A
• likely when H₀ is true
• unlikely when H₀ is true

a. obtaining significant results

b. obtaining nonsignificant results

1) The sampling distribution is actually (in real life) computed by taking samples over and over and over again, infinitely many times, from the population, and plotting their means on a graph.

a. true

b. false
