Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statistical power of a test is defined as the probability of correctly rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false, which is mathematically represented as (1 - β), where β is the probability of making a Type II error (failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is false). Therefore, choice D, which represents (1 - β), correctly describes the statistical power of a test.
