Question

The manufacturer of a new sleeping pil suspects that it may increase the risk of sleepwalking, which could be dangerous. A test of the drug failed to reject the null hypothesis of no increase in sleepwalking when tested at = 0.088. If the test had been performed at an alpha level of 0.05, Would the test have been more or less likely to reject the null hypothesis of no increase in sleep walking ?. Choose the most appropriate answer below, It is less likely that he would have rejected his null hypothesis because lowering increases the chance of rejecting the null hypothesis. It is more likely that he would have rejected his null hypothesis because lowering decreases the chance of rejecting the null hypothesis. It's less likely that he would have rejected his null hypothesis because lowering decreases the chance of rejecting the null hypothesis. It is more likely that he would have rejected his null hypothesis because lowering increases the chance of rejecting the null hypothesis.
