Question

Each comparison in the figure below is like a 1-sample t test. If the 95% confidence interval for the ? coefficient did not include zero, then it was interpreted as having a significant effect.They found one significant effect, but based on what you know about multiple comparisons and type I error rates, you should be a bit skeptical of these results. If none of these factors had a true effect (H0 was true for all cases), what is the probability that they would find at least 1 significant effect.In light of this calculation, how strong do you believe the results are?
