Question

Identify the type I error and the type II error that corresponds to the given hypothesis.

The proportion of settled medical malpractice suits is

0.27

Which of the following is a type I? error?

A. Reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.27 when the proportion is actually .27

B. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.27 when the proportion is actually 0.27

C. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.27 when the proportion is actually different from 0.27

D. Reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.27 when the proportion is actually different from 0.27

Type I error is associated with the probability of rejecting the true null hypothesis. Hence in the given problem, Type I error will be:

Reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.27 when the proportion is actually .27

Option A is correct.
