Question

According to the Centers for Disease control and prevention, 20.8 of high school students currently use electronic cigarettes. A high school counselor is concerned that the use of e-cigs at her school is higher.
(a) Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.
(b) If the sample data indicate that the null hypothesis should not be rejected, state the conclusion of the school counselor.
(c) Suppose, in fact, that the proportion of students at the counselor's high school who use electronic cigarettes is 0.034. Was a Type I or Type II error committed?

Answer 1

Answer:

H0 : p = 0.028

H1: p > 0.028

We conclude that there is not enough evidence to support the school counselor's claim they the use of electronic cigarettes in high school is higher Than 2.8%

Type 11 error

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : p = 0.028

H1: p > 0.028

If null should not be rejected then;

We conclude that there is not enough evidence to support the school counselor's claim they the use of electronic cigarettes in high school is higher Than 2.8%

3.)

If the actual proportion is 0.034, which means 3.4%, this means it is actually higher. For failing to reject a false Null, then a type 11 error has been committed
