a) The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion p increases as the sample size increases.

b) The margin of error for a confidence interval for the population proportion p, based on a specified sample size n, increases as the confidence level decreases

. c) The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion p decreases as the percentage of successes decreases.

d) The p-value in a hypothesis test is the probability that the null hypothesis is true.

e) A type II error occurs in a hypothesis test when we falsely reject the null hypothesis.

a) The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion p increases as the sample size increases. -- false

since As sample size increases the margianl error decrease in the confidence interval for population proportion p

b) The margin of error for a confidence interval for the population proportion p, based on a specified sample size n, increases as the confidence level decreases - false

since the marginal error increases as confidence level increases

. c) The margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion p decreases as the percentage of successes decreases. - TRUE

d) The p-value in a hypothesis test is the probability that the null hypothesis is true. FALSE.

A p-value is the probability of obtaining results as "extreme" or more "extreme" given that the null hypothesis is true.

e) A type II error occurs in a hypothesis test when we falsely reject the null hypothesis. FALSE
