When we compute 100 (1 - $\alpha$)confidence intervals,the value of $\alpha$ is called the
A)comparisonwise error rate
B)Tukey simultaneous error rate
C)experimentwise error rate
D)pairwise error rate

Question

The value of F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 represents the experimentwise error rate, which is the probability of making at least one Type I error among all the hypothesis tests performed in an experiment. Therefore, the best choice is C, experimentwise error rate. The other options are not appropriate because they refer to different concepts. The comparisonwise error rate is the probability of making a Type I error for a single hypothesis test, the Tukey simultaneous error rate is a specific method for controlling the familywise error rate in multiple comparisons, and the pairwise error rate is not a commonly used term in statistical inference.
