Transcript text: Question 7 5 pts The Greek letter used to represent the probability of a Type I error is alpha $(\alpha)$. True False

Solution

Solution Steps

The question is asking whether the Greek letter alpha (α) is used to represent the probability of a Type I error. This is a true/false question.

Solution Approach

Understand the definition of a Type I error in statistics.
Recall the Greek letter used to denote the probability of a Type I error.

Step 1: Understanding Type I Error

A Type I error occurs when a true null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected. The probability of making a Type I error is denoted by the Greek letter $ \alpha $.

Step 2: Identifying the Greek Letter

The Greek letter $ \alpha $ is conventionally used in statistics to represent the significance level, which is the probability of a Type I error.

Final Answer

Since $ \alpha $ is indeed used to represent the probability of a Type I error, the statement is true. Thus, the answer is \$\boxed{\text{True}}\$.
