This Question: 15 pts 16 of 20 (13 complete) Identify the type I error and the type II error that corresponds to the given hypothesis. The proportion of settled medical malpractice suits is 0.25 Which of the following is a type I error? O A. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually different from 0.25 O B. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually 0.25. ? C. Reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually different from 0.25. O D. Reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually 0.25. Which of the following is a type ll error? O A. Reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually 0.25. 0 B. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually different from 0.25. O C. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually 0.25. 0 D. Reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually different from 0.25.Explanation / Answer
The type I error is defined as: The probability of rejecting Ho when it is true.
The type II error is defined as: The probability of accepting Ho(or fail to reject Ho) when Ho is false.
Hence,In the given case type I error is :
(D.) Reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually 0.25.
The type II error is:
(B.) Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of settled malpractice suits is 0.25 when the proportion is actually different from 0.25.
