b. The assumption there is no relationship or difference between the variables you are testing.
c. The assumption there is a relationship or difference between the variables you are testing.
d. The pattern between the variable you are testing.
2. What is a Type-I error:
a. A type-I error is obtaining a non-significant result by sampling error alone.
b. A type-I error is obtaining a non-significant result when it should be significant.
c. A type-I error is obtaining a significant result by sampling error alone when the Null hypothesis is true.
3. Which of the statements below defines a Type-II error
