Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is a greater risk of a type I error with a 0.05 level of significance than with a 0.01 level of significance.A type I error carries a greater risk of rejecting a null hypothesis when it is true,but does not increase the likelihood of a correct null hypothesis.The type I error does not affect the generalizability of the findings.There is a greater risk of a type II error with a 0.01 level of significance than with a 0.05 level of significance.
