Question
Imagine the table that illustrates the relationship between the nature of the null hypothesis and your action as a researcher (which includes potential Type I and Type II errors), and apply the four possible outcomes to situations of mandated drug testing in elite athletics.
One: Describe the statistical equivalent to when a famous baseball player’s blood test was negative for performance-enhancing drugs when there truly were no performance-enhancing drugs present in his blood.
Two: Describe the statistical equivalent to when a world-class sprinter’s blood test was positive for performance-enhancing drugs when there truly were no performance-enhancing drugs present in her blood.
Three: Describe the statistical equivalent to when a famous baseball player’s blood test was negative for performance-enhancing drugs when there truly were performance-enhancing drugs present in his blood.
Four: Describe the statistical equivalent to when a world-class sprinter’s blood test was positive for performance-enhancing drugs when there truly were performance-enhancing drugs present in her blood.
Explanation / Answer
Null Hypothesis : H0 : THe famous baseball's player doesn't take performance enhancing drug.
ALternative Hypothesis : Ha : THe famous baseball's player did take performance enhancing drug.
Situation One : The statistical equivalent is " True Positive".
Situation two : The statistical equivalent is "Type I error"
Situation Three : The statistical equivalent is "Type II error"
Situation FOur : The statistical equivalent is "True Negative"
