The practice of concluding do not reject H0 is preferred ove

The practice of concluding \"do not reject H₀\" is preferred over \"accept H₀\" when we:

a. are conducting a one tailed test

b. are testing the validity of a claim

c.have an insufficient sample size

d. have not controlled for the Type II error

Solution

The correct option is:

d. have not controlled for the Type II error

because if we accept wrong null hypothesis, there is always a chance of committing type II error. Accept H0 means there is no type II error. Therefore, the practice of concluding \"do not reject H₀\" is preferred over \"accept H₀\" when we have not controlled for the Type II error.
