Concluding there is a significant difference between groups when there is none Concluding a defendant is guilty when they are actually innocent Concluding a defendant is innocent when they are actually guilty Concluding a drug has no effect when it is actually effective Concluding a drug is effective when it actually has no effect None In the context of hypothesis testing, what is a false positive? Type I error Correct rejection of the null hypothesis Inconclusive test result Correct acceptance of the null hypothesis Type II error None In a study comparing two treatments, what is the minimum number of subjects required in each group to detect a clinically meaningful difference with 80% power and a significance level of 0.05? 32 It depends on the effect size and variability of the outcome measure 64 16 128 None Which of the following factors does NOT influence the probability of committing a Type II error? One-tailed vs. two-tailed test Sample size Effect size Significance level (alpha) Variability of the data None Which of the following is true about sample size calculations for human studies compared to animal studies? Sample size calculations for human and animal studies use the same formulas Human studies must account for potential dropout rates, while animal studies do not Human studies always require larger sample sizes than animal studies Animal studies must account for potential attrition rates, while human studies do not Animal studies always require larger sample sizes than human studies None What is the relationship between Type I and Type II errors? They are independent and do not affect each other They are equally likely to occur in any given study Decreasing the risk of one type of error increases the risk of the other Increasing the sample size reduces the risk of both types of errors They are mutually exclusive and cannot occur simultaneously None Which of the following is NOT a common method for determining sample size in human studies? Choosing a sample size based on the available budget and resources Conducting a pilot study to estimate variability and effect size Using published tables or formulas specific to the study design Consulting with a statistician or using specialized software Relying on the sample size of previously published studies in the field None What is the relationship between sample size and statistical power? The relationship between sample size and power depends on the effect size As sample size increases, statistical power increases Sample size and statistical power are not related As sample size increases, statistical power decreases The relationship between sample size and power depends on the study design None Which of the following factors is NOT typically considered when calculating sample size for an animal study? e) The power of the study a) The desired effect size d) The cost of purchasing and housing the animals c) The significance level (alpha) b) The variability of the outcome measure None What is the purpose of conducting a sample size calculation before beginning a study? b) To ensure the study has sufficient statistical power to detect an effect a) To determine the maximum number of subjects that can be recruited c) To minimize the cost and resources required for the study e) To eliminate the need for a control group d) To guarantee statistically significant results None What is a Type I error? Failing to reject a false null hypothesis Rejecting a false null hypothesis Accepting a true alternative hypothesis Rejecting a true null hypothesis Failing to reject a true null hypothesis None Which of the following is an example of a situation where a larger sample size may be required in an animal study? When the expected effect size is large When the cost of the animals is low When the variability of the outcome measure is low When the study will be completed quickly When multiple comparisons will be made between treatment groups None What is the purpose of interim sample size re-estimation in clinical trials? To stop the trial early if there is a clear benefit or harm To adjust the sample size based on observed treatment effects To change the primary outcome measure of the study To modify the eligibility criteria for recruiting subjects To account for unexpected dropout rates or protocol deviations None What is the main difference between one-tailed and two-tailed hypothesis tests? Two-tailed tests have higher statistical power than one-tailed tests One-tailed tests are always more appropriate than two-tailed tests One-tailed tests have higher statistical power than two-tailed tests Two-tailed tests are used when the direction of the effect is known, while one-tailed tests are used when the direction is unknown One-tailed tests are used when the direction of the effect is known, while two-tailed tests are used when the direction is unknown None Time's upTime is Up!
