    Since the null hypothesis is true, finding the significance is a type I error.

    The probability of the year I error = level of significance = 0.05.

    so, the number of tests that will be incorrectly found significant is computed as follow: 0.05 * 100 = 5

    Therefore, 5 tests will be incorrectly found significant given that the null hypothesis is true.
