Packet 2: Tossup 19

Note to moderator: “phycologist” is not a typo. One method for meta-analysis sums negative two times the natural log of these quantities to create one value. The Bonferroni (15[1]-5[1])correction (15[2])compares (15[1])this quantity to another quantity (15[1]-5[1])divided by the number of tests. (15[1])This (15[1])quantity was proposed in an experiment where a phycologist tasted different tea preparations. A recent “replication crisis” has emerged (15[1])due to widespread attempts (15[1])to (15[2])(*) “hack” (10[2])this quantity. (10[8]-5[1])A “false positive ”occurs (10[2])when this quantity (10[1]-5[1])is both below (-5[1])an (10[1])alpha level and H-naught (10[2])is incorrectly (10[1])rejected. (10[1])For 10 points, significance testing attempts to find (10[1])what statistical value (-5[1])representing the probability of obtaining a result if the null hypothesis is true?
