What would be a Type 2 error for this situation (be specific)?

What does it mean to have a negative coefficient in the regression model?
1. That variable reduces the coefficient of determination.
2. The values for that variable must be negative.
3. There is an inverse relationship between that variable and the dependent variable.
4. The correlation is weak.
4. u06q2 Question 10
Assume a significance level were set to .05 and the p-value for an upper-tailed test was .051. Given how close the results were to getting a "reject Ho" decision, what would you suggest the researcher do to improve his/her chances of rejecting the null hypothesis while still maintaining ethical standards?
1. Decrease the sample size
2. Increase the sample size
3. Decrease the significance level
4. Rewrite the null hypothesis
5. u06q2 Question 2

True
False
6. u06q2 Question 5
Before proceeding with a simple linear regression, you should first construct a scatter diagram because you are supposed to remove all outliers from the data.
True
False
7. u06q2 Question 8
If the correlation coefficient equals zero, then no correlation exists between the two variables and the scatter diagram resembles a straight line.
True
False
8. u06q2 Question 11
If you wanted to analyze the correlation between the number of hours practiced and the number of targets hit by a sharpshooter, which variable would be the dependent variable?
1. Number of hours practiced

9. u06q2 Question 13
A Chi Square test is used to test whether one categorical variable causes another.
True
False
10. u06q2 Question 4
An advertisement claims that chewing NoCav gum reduces cavities. To test the claim, you conduct a study in which 100 participants who chew the gum are compared to the national average for cavities found. To test the research hypothesis that the mean number of cavities for NoCav chewers is below the national average, you use a significance level of .05. Given a resulting p-value is .08, how would you react to the advertised claim?
1. Conclude that the gum reduces cavities
2. Conclude that the gum might reduce cavities
3. Conclude that the gum does not reduce cavities
4. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the gum reduces cavities
11. u06q2 Question 15
Which hypothesis testing error(s) do you have direct control of?
1. Type I error
2. Type II error
3. Both Type I and Type II errors
4. Neither Type I nor Type II errors
12. u06q2 Question 3
We can statistically prove a null hypothesis to be...
1. ...true when we fail to reject the null.
2. ...false when we reject the null.
3. ...sometimes true, sometimes false depending on the test outcome.
4. ...neither true nor false if the test outcome proves nothing.
13. u06q2 Question 9
Assume the regression model for predicting home prices by the square footage were: PRICE = 12510 + 83 (SQRFT) For every additional one square foot, how much does the price increase?
1. $ 1
2. $ 83
3. $ 12,593
4. Cannot be determined from the information given
14. u06q2 Question 1
If the significance level is set to .10, then what is the probability of rejecting the null when the null is in fact true?
1. 90%
2. 10%
3. cannot be determined from the information given
15. u06q2 Question 6
If the hypothesis test for correlation is found to be significant (i.e., we rejected the null hypothesis), what can we automatically conclude about the strength of the correlation?
1. We can conclude that the correlation must be strong.
2. We can conclude that the correlation is not weak.
3. We cannot conclude anything about the strength of the correlation based on the p-value alone.
