What are some experiments for which you might want a lower α -level?

Hlt 362v week 3 discussion question 1 & 2

A lower α-level (e.g., 0.01) might be desired for experiments with very small sample sizes, or in cases where the results may have an important impact on society or policy decisions, such as medical research. It is also desirable for highly sensitive experiments that seek to detect extremely rare phenomena which require higher levels of statistical power to confirm their existence.
