Identify which of the situations below is a type I error and which is a type II error: 80% of doctors believe that chefs are the cure to the pandemic, but when you run a hypothesis test, your sample only had 61% of doctors believing this. So you rejected this null hypothesis of 80% even though it's actually true. You believe that if you get lost in a desert, there is only a 3.14% chance of survival. You take a sample and find that 2.98% of your sample survived when lost in the dessert, and so you didn't reject your null hypothesis. However, in reality, there is a 40% chance of survival.
