Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The mean is the sum of the scores divided by the number of scores being summed. In this example, the sum of scores equals 70, and the number of scores being summed equals 7. Seventy divided by 7 equals 10.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
There is a greater risk of Type I error with a 0.05 level of significance than with a 0.01 level of significance. As the level of significance becomes more extreme, the risk of a Type I error decreases.
The greater the difference between groups the less likelihood of a Type I error.
A Type I error is probably less likely with a large sample.
Normal distribution is not going to cause a Type I error.
