You plan to preform a hypothesis test with the level of significance at .05. What is the effect on the probability of committing a type one error if the sample size is increased?

The probability is unchanged

A school superintendent must make a decision whether or not to cancel school because of a threatening snow storm. What would the results be of Type I and Type II errors for the null hypothesis: The weather remains dry
Type I: Weather remains dry, school is needlessly canceled Type II: School isn't canceled and the storm hits
