Which one of the following statements is false ?

  • A.\(\alpha\) (alpha) is called Type-I error
  • B.\(\beta\) (beta) is called Type-II error
  • C.1 - \(\alpha\) (alpha) is called power of the test
  • D.1 - \(\beta\) (beta) is called power of the test

Answer: C

The false statement is 1 - α is called power of the test.

α is the probability of a Type-I error (rejecting a true null hypothesis), and β is the probability of a Type-II error (accepting a false null hypothesis). The power of a test is the probability of correctly rejecting a false null hypothesis, which is 1 - β.

1 - α is the confidence level, the probability of correctly accepting a true null hypothesis, not the power. The other three statements are correct.
