Question

You perform 7000 significance tests using a significance level of 3%. Assuming that the null hypothesis is true, how many of the test results would you expect to be statistically significant?

Answer 1

210

level of significance is nothing but the chances of rejecting a null hypothesis by the test when it given that it is correct. it is denoted by α it also defined as the

level of significance =1 - confidence level

now statistically significant test =0.03×7000=210

so the expected value of statistical significant is 210
