Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A conservative α level reduces the likelihood of making a Type I error by setting a lower threshold for statistical significance. This ensures that we only reject the null hypothesis when we have strong evidence to do so. A smaller N (sample size) may also decrease the likelihood of a Type I error, but this is not always a reliable approach and can lead to other issues such as decreased statistical power. A liberal α level would increase the likelihood of making a Type I error by setting a higher threshold for statistical significance. Using a liberal α level can lead to false positives and an over-rejection of the null hypothesis.
