Question
For the given scenario, determine the type of error that was made, if any. (Hint: Begin by determining the null and alternative hypotheses.)
A pharmaceutical company claims only 2%
as the percentage of people taking a particular drug that experience significant side effects. One researcher claims that the percentage of people taking a particular drug that experience significant side effects is less than 2%. The researcher conducts a hypothesis test and fails to reject the null hypothesis. Assume that in reality, the percentage of people taking a particular drug that experience significant side effects is 0.5%. Was an error made? If so, what type?
