Type I Error:

Type II Error:

Answer 1

Answer:

A directional hypothesis this is simply the prediction made by a researcher concerning a positive or a negative change, relationship, or difference between the two variables that are being contained in a population.

A type I error: this is simply a situation whereby we a reject a true null hypothesis. while

A type II error is simply the non-rejection of a false null hypothesis.

Answer 2

Answer:

Null:  This year flu shots effectiveness is no good than that of used last year and before...

Alternative: This year flu shots effectiveness is better as compared to those of used last year and before...
