Please answer true/false for each: a. If P > α, then we reject the alternative hypothesis HA: μ1 ≠ μ2 and accept the null hypothesis H0 : μ1 = μ2 b. If we have P < α for a non-directional test, then it is guaranteed that we will have P < α for a directional test. c. In creating a confidence interval, assuming all other sample values are the same (sample means and standard deviations), larger sample sizes will lead to larger (wider, less precise) confidence intervals.

Please answer true/false for each:

a. If P > α, then we reject the alternative hypothesis HA: μ1 ≠ μ2 and accept the null hypothesis H0 : μ1 = μ2

b. If we have P < α for a non-directional test, then it is guaranteed that we will have P < α for a directional test.

c. In creating a confidence interval, assuming all other sample values are the same (sample means and standard deviations), larger sample sizes will lead to larger (wider, less precise) confidence intervals.
