The confidence with which we may reject/accept a hypothesis is independent of the sample size, but dependent on the true population variance.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The confidence with which we may reject/accept a hypothesis is dependent on both the sample size and the true population variance. As sample size increases, the standard error decreases and the confidence in the results increases. Additionally, if the population variance is larger, it may be more difficult to reject or accept a hypothesis with a high degree of confidence.
