Question

A researcher tests H0:p=0.45H_0:p=0.45 against an appropriate alternative at α=0.05\alpha=0.05. The test leads to rejection of H0H_0​, but in reality the true population proportion is p=0.45p=0.45. Classify this decision error.

Accepted Answer

Type I error

Answer

Type II error

Answer

No error (correct decision)

Answer

Both Type I and Type II errors

A researcher tests H0:p=0.45H_0:p=0.45 against an appropriate alternative at α=0.05\(\alpha\)=0.05. The test leads to rejection of H0H_0, but in reality the true population proportion is p=0.45p=0.45. Classify this decision error.

A researcher tests $H sub 0 colon p equals 0.45$ against an appropriate alternative at $alpha equals 0.05$ . The test leads to rejection of $H sub 0$ , but in reality the true population proportion is $p equals 0.45$ . Classify this decision error.
