Asked by Davina
Can someone explain to me how I got this question wrong?
True/False. It is easier to reject the null hypothesis if the researcher uses a smaller alpha(a) level?
I said False As alpha decreases, the rejection region also decreases.

Wouldn't the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis be easier(more likely), if you have a larger alpha level? In other words, if you are using P=.05 it is easier to reject the null hypothesis than if you were using P=.01.
