Question
You are driving home one night and must decide if you have enough gas to get home or not. Use the hypotheses below to answer the questions.
Ho: My vehicle has enough gas to get home.
Ha: My vehicle does not have enough gas to get home.
A. A type I error occurs if I conclude (believe) my vehicle does/does not (circle the correct choice) have enough gas to get home, but in fact, my vehicle does / does not (circle the correct choice)have enough gas to get home.
B. List one possible consequence that could happen if you made a type I error.
C. A type II error occurs if I conclude (believe) my vehicle does / does not (circle the correct choice ) have enough gas to get home, but in fact, my vehicle does / does not (circle the correct choice) have enough gas to get home.
D. List one possible consequence that could happen if you made a type Il error.
E. Based on the seriousness of the consequences of these two errors, we should set a / B to be less than a /B. Circle the better option for each answer.
