The F value obtained from the data is 3.75 based on 2 and 14 degrees of freedom. You should _________________the null hypothesis if $\alpha$= .05, even though you might be making a _________________ error.
A) reject Type I
B) reject Type II
C) retain Type I
D) retain Type II

The F value of 3.75 with 2 and 14 degrees of freedom is significant at the .05 level, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis, which increases the risk of making a Type I error (incorrectly rejecting a true null hypothesis).

The F Value Obtained from the Data Is 3 α\alphaα = 05, Even Though You Might Be Making a _________________ Error

The F Value Obtained from the Data Is 3 $\alpha$ = 05, Even Though You Might Be Making a _________________ Error
