One way of expressing how well a test performs is to report its power--the probability of detecting a false null hypothesis.

Test Performance

An evaluation of the efficacy or success of a test, often in the context of education or software testing.

False Null Hypothesis

A hypothetical error that occurs when a true null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected.

  • Develop an understanding of defining, quantifying, and making sense of the power of a test in connection to Type II errors.
