A recruitment analyst wanted to examine the likelihood that advertising on social media is more effective than in print media for recruiting the best candidates. 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 above 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 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.
