Question

Identify the type I error and the type l error that correspond to the given hypothesis. The percentage of households with Internet access is less than 60%. Identify the type l error. Choose the correct answer below ( A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of households with Internet access is less O B. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of households with Internet access is equal to than 60% when the percentage is actually equal to 60%. 60% when that percentage is actually equal to 60%. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of households with Internet access is less than 60% when that percentage is actually less than 60%. C. ( D. Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of households with Internet access is equal to 60% when that percentage is actually less than 60%

Explanation / Answer

This hypothesis is the alternative hypothesis.

Thus, the null hypothesis is u = 60%.

Note that Type I error is incorrectly rejecting a true null hypothesis.

Thus, OPTION B: Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of households is equal to 60% when that percentage is actually 60%. [OPTION B]

*****************************

A type II error is incorrectly failing to reject a false null hypothesis.

Thus, it is OPTION D: Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage is 60^ when that percentage is less than 60%. [OPTION D]
