1) Imagine you are explaining to your friend how Type I and TypeII errors work. You friend then asks you, “Why don’t researchersjust set the alpha error rate really low (like .01%) every time sothe odds they make a Type I error are very small?†Explain to yourfriend why scientists don’t set the alpha error rate to a verysmall value every time they do research. Can you think of a reasonwhy a scientist would consider setting the alpha error rate to asmaller value than the traditional .05? Provide an example thatillustrates your reasoning. Your example can be a hypothetical orreal situation. NOTE: Do NOT reuse any examples I provided in theChapter 9 video lectures.
