TABLE 9-2
A student claims that he can correctly identify whether a person is a business major or an agriculture major by the way the person dresses. Suppose in actuality that if someone is a business major, he can correctly identify that person as a business major 87% of the time. When a person is an agriculture major, the student will incorrectly identify that person as a business major 16% of the time. Presented with one person and asked to identify the major of this person (who is either a business or agriculture major) , he considers this to be a hypothesis test with the null hypothesis being that the person is a business major and the alternative that the person is an agriculture major.
-Referring to Table 9-2, what would be a Type II error?
A) saying that the person is a business major when in fact the person is an agriculture major
B) saying that the person is an agriculture major when in fact the person is a business major
C) saying that the person is an agriculture major when in fact the person is an agriculture major
