Your Answer: accurate

If a true null hypothesis is rejected less than .05 of the time, that is if a Type I error is made less than 5% of the time, then the significance test is conservative becuase as stated above statistically the rate is less than .05 when the .05 level is used. A significance level is not necessarily accurate as it is a judgement of likelihood that a certain answer would be obtained by chance.
