What strategies can be employed to reduce both Type I and Type II errors?

  • Decrease sample size, use a more lenient significance level
  • Decrease sample size, use a more stringent significance level
  • Increase sample size, use a more lenient significance level
  • Increase sample size, use a more stringent significance level
Increasing the sample size makes the test more sensitive, reducing both Type I and Type II errors. Similarly, a more stringent significance level (lower α) reduces the chance of a Type I error. However, it's important to note that decreasing Type I error probability often leads to an increase in Type II error probability, and vice versa. This is known as the Type I/Type II tradeoff.
