Please dear answer these question

State whether the following statements are True or False.

  • A type I error is the mistake of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true. 
  • .The null hypothesis is rejected if the P-value 0.05.  
  • .Two samples are dependent if the sample values are matched pairs. 
  • .In case of hypothesis testing for a sample, the t statistic is used if is not known and sample size n is greater than 30. 
  • .A claim that two population proportions are equal, each of the two samples must satisfy the requirement that and . 
  • .The Student t distribution and the normal distribution are symmetric.

(Multiple Choice Questions)
