A smoke alarm is supposed to make noise when there is a fire and stay silent when there is no fire. Designers of a smoke detector would use the following hypotheses: H0: There is no fire. HA: There is a fire. If you were designing a smoke detector, would you want to pick a large alpha or small alpha? Group of answer choices A Type I error is worse than a Type II error, so I would pick a large alpha. A Type I error is worse than a Type II error, so I would pick a small alpha. A Type II error is worse than a Type I error, so I would pick a large alpha. A Type II error is worse than a Type I error, so I would pick a small alpha.
