A sports researcher wanted to assess the likelihood that girls score more goals than boys do in five a-side soccer. She conducted one study where the probability of making a Type I error was 0.05 and a Type II error was 0.2.  Does her research have empirical probability?

A. No, to have empirical probability the likelihood of an effect being detected requires a series of repeated identical experiments, where the probability of making a Type I error is 0.05 and a Type II error is 0.2.
B. No, to have empirical probability the likelihood of an effect being detected requires a series of repeated identical experiments, where the probability of making a Type I error is above 0.05 and a Type II error is 0.2.
C. Yes, to have empirical probability the likelihood of an effect being detected requires a single experiment, where the probability of making a Type I error is above 0.05 and a Type II error is 0.2.
D. No, to have empirical probability the likelihood of an effect being detected requires a single experiment, where the probability of making a Type I error is above 0.05 and a Type II error is 0.1.
