Explanation / Answer

The type I error is defined as: The probability of rejecting Ho when it is true.

The type II error is defined as: The probability of accepting Ho(or fail to reject Ho) when Ho is false.

Hence,In the given case type I error is :

(D.) Reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually 0.25.

The type II error is:

(B.) Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually different from 0.25.
