For each of the following​ situations, state whether a Type​ I, a Type​ II, or neither error has been made. ​
a) A test of H0​: p = 0.6 vs. HA​: p < 0.6 fails to reject the null hypothesis. Later it is discovered that p = 0.7.
​b) A test of H0​: μ = 30 vs. HA​: μ > 30 rejects the null hypothesis. Later it is discovered that μ = 29.9. ​
c) A test of H0​: p = 0.4 vs. HA​: p /= 0.4 rejects the null hypothesis. Later it is discovered that p = 0.55.
​d) A test of H0​: p = 0.7 vs. HA​: p < 0.7 fails to reject the null hypothesis. Later it is discovered that p = 0.6.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A test of H0​: p = 0.6 vs. HA​: p < 0.6 fails to reject the null hypothesis. Later it is discovered that p = 0.7.

Answer: No error has been made since there is not enough statistical evidence to reject the null.

b) A test of H0​: μ = 30 vs. HA​: μ > 30 rejects the null hypothesis. Later it is discovered that μ = 29.9. ​

A type I error has been made. Rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true.

c) A test of H0​: p = 0.4 vs. HA​: p /= 0.4 rejects the null hypothesis. Later it is discovered that p = 0.55.

A type I error has been made since the p value was greater than 0.4, one will fail to reject the null but in the case the null was rejected.

d) A test of H0​: p = 0.7 vs. HA​: p < 0.7 fails to reject the null hypothesis. Later it is discovered that p = 0.6.

A type II error has been made since the p value is less than 0.7 and it was expected that the null should be rejected but that ws not the case.
