Quality of Tests (Edexcel A-Level Further Mathematics): Flashcards

Rejecting $H_0$ when it is true

Failing to reject $H_0$ when it is false

Denoted by $\alpha$ (significance level)

Denoted by $\beta$

$1 - \beta$

Probability of correctly rejecting $H_0$ when $H_1$ is true

Increases $\alpha$, decreases $\beta$

Decreases $\alpha$, increases $\beta$

$P(\text{Reject } H_0 | \theta)$

Determines when $H_0$ is rejected
