The doctor began the lecture by revising what we talked about the
last time:
α = 0.05
**in the exam the doctor will tell you what α is so pay attention to
the question don’t always assume it's 0.05, you need to know where
to look in the table and how to integrate the data based on what level
of confidence is assigned in the question.
Research has two main branches (Each one has its own
importance and uses):
1- Quantitative research
HA: pregnant
An obviously pregnant lady walks in and the doctor runs a certain test
he invented on her then he tells her she's not pregnant He
accepted the null hypothesis when it was false (Type II error)
Then a man walks in and the doctor runs the test on him then tells
him that he is pregnant He rejected the null hypothesis when it
was true (Type I error)
**so remember that the man was type I error and the lady was type
II error to remember what each one means.
- We only accept a margin of 5% of type I error. α = 0.05 And
(1-α)= level of confidence = 95% confident that I'm right that there is
a relationship between the 2 variables) (5% chance of error)
2- Categorical:
