Question
Describe type I and type II errors for a hypothesis test of the indicated claim.
A
lumber
store claims that
at least
25%
of its new customers will return to buy their next
order of lumber.
Describe the type I error. Choose the correct answer below.
A type I error will occur when the actual proportion of new customers who return to buy their next
order of lumber
is
at least
0.25,
but you fail to reject
H0:
p≥0.25.
A type I error will occur when the actual proportion of new customers who return to buy their next
order of lumber
is
no more than
0.25,
but you fail to reject
H0:
p≤0.25.

- The government of a certain country says that the literacy rate (the proportion of people who are literate) in the country is 73%. A nongovernmental organization believes that the rate is lower than that. To test their belief at the 1% significance level, the organization studies a random sample of 420 people and finds that 283 of them are literate. Ho: p=0.73 Ha: P< 0.73 Find the P-value. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardUse the formula in this example to determine the sample size, n.The estimated prevalence is 19%, and the desired confidence level is 93% with a margin of error of 4%.

- Choose the correct answer.If the P-value of a test of significance is 0.999 then:A. the null hypothesis should be rejected.B. the null hypothesis should not be rejected.C. the alternative hypothesis provides a plausible explanation of the data.D. Both A and C are true.arrow_forwardA survey investigates whether the proportion of 8% for employees who commute by car to work is higher than it was five years ago. Identify the Type II error in this context. Choose the best asnwer below: A. The survey sampled only a dozen employee commuters. B. The product of the survey's sample size and sample proportion was less than 10. C. The survey concludes that commuting by car is on the rise since the commuting can only increase. D. The survey concludes that commuting by car is on the rise, but in fact there is no change in commuting. E. The survey states there in no change in commuting, but in fact commuting by car is increasing.arrow_forwardYou are a researcher studying a certain species of fish in a local lake.
