It is commonly known that O.J. Simpson was acquitted on both charges of murder in this case, on the famous “the gloves don’t fit” defense. To this day, people still debate whether or not O.J. Simpson did or did not commit these crimes. Suppose that O.J. Simpson did, in fact, commit the murders. In the context of hypothesis testing, what kind of error was committed by the jury? Write a brief explanation of which kind of error and why.
