C)1 -$\alpha$
D)1 - $\beta$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of making a Type I error is denoted by α, which is represented by the given symbol in option A. Option B represents the probability of making a Type II error (denoted by β), which is not the same as a Type I error. Option C represents the probability of not making a Type I error, which is not the same as the probability of making a Type I error. Option D represents the probability of not making a Type II error, which is not the same as the probability of making a Type I error. Therefore, the best choice is A as it correctly represents the probability of making a Type I error.
