C The statistics we normally psychology contain both an information term and a term, and express one as a ratio of the other
D The test statistic will yield a high value (suggesting that something remarkable is going on) when there is relatively less information than error and a low value (suggesting that nothing remarkable is going on) when there is more information than error
Correct Answer: The test statistic will yield a high value (suggesting that something remarkable is going on) when there is relatively less information than error and a low value (suggesting that nothing remarkable is going on) when there is more information than error
