Globally, 35% of all ridged brittleshell tortoises have spots on their shells. A herpetologist in Citition collects a sample of 38 ridged brittlesell tortoises and finds that 16 of them have spots on their shells. The herpetologist would like to test the claim that the proportion of ridged brittleshell tortoises in Cititon with spots on their shells is greater than 35%. The herpetologist ends up rejecting the null hypothesis. If the actual proportion of ridged brittleshell tortoises in Cititon with spots on their shells is 41%, then what type of error, if any, has occurred? In the problem above, what is the test statistic?
