H0: p = value for areas without nuclear facilities
Ha: p > value for areas without nuclear facilities
According to the spokesperson’s statement, what is the conclusion of the National Cancer Institute? Select one of the following:
Reject H0 Fail to reject H0 Reject Ha Fail to reject Ha
Result:
H0: p = value for areas without nuclear facilities
Ha: p > value for areas without nuclear facilities
According to the spokesperson’s statement, what is the conclusion of the National Cancer Institute? Select one of the following:
Reject H0 Fail to reject H0 Reject Ha Fail to reject Ha
Given conclusion is “there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities”. There fore Ho is not rejected.
correct option is Fail to reject H0
Correct option: A Type II error, if the researchers were incorrect in their conclusion this would be failing to reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is false.
Note: A TYPE II Error occurs when we fail to Reject Ho when, in fact, Ho is False. In this case we fail to reject a false null hypothesis
