In determining whether a new drug successfully treats more than half its patients, researchers are concerned with Type I error; if they set to be extremely small to protect against this error, what unintended consequence might occur?
Decrease in sample size
Increase in power of test
Increase in Type II errors
Decrease in effect size detected

If a survey consists of five yes-or-no questions, each answered independently, what is the probability that exactly three questions will be answered with yes if the probability of saying yes is each time?
Incorrect answers where the calculations include combining probabilities from different surveys.
Incorrect answers where computing only the number of successful responses for each event response.
Incorrect answers where yes trials occur across the whole survey.
Correct answers where the sum of five multiple choices with permutations based on the number of ways which the fifth question can be selected and success hats with multiple by the probability for success raised the third power failures the rest tings wer ncorrect answers where yes trials are summed incorrect answers where the calculations include combining probabilities from different surveys incorrect answer computing only the number of successful responses for each event restponse that does not consider the overall number possibilities.

What is the binomial distribution formula, where n is the number of trials, x is the number of successes, and p is the probability of success?
P(x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)
P(x) = nCx * p^(n - x) * (1 - p)^x
P(x) = nPx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)
P(x) = nPx * p^(n - x) * (1 - p)^x
On a game show, contestants have a 14% chance of winning a prize each time they play. If a contestant plays 100 times, what is the probability that he or she will win 15 times?
