State whether the following statements true or false 1.   The type I error and type II error are related. A decrease in the probability of one generally results in an increase in the probability of the other. 2.   The size of the critical region, and therefore the probability of committing a type I error, can always be reduced by adjusting the critical value(s). 3.   An increase in the sample size n will reduce α and β simultaneously. 4.   If the null hypothesis is false, β is a maximum when the true value of a parameter approaches the hypothesized value. The greater the distance between the true value and the hypothesized value, the smaller β will be. 5.     The power of a test is the probability of rejecting H0 given that a specific alternative is true.
