Answer:

False.

Explanation:

If you reject the null hypothesis when it is true, you make a type I error. An example can help you understand this type of statistical error well:

A medical researcher wants to compare the effectiveness of two medications. The null and alternative hypotheses are:

Null hypothesis (H0): μ1 = μ2 (Both medications have the same efficacy).

Alternative hypothesis (H1): μ1 ≠ μ2 (The two medications do not have the same efficacy).

A type I error occurs if the researcher rejects the null hypothesis and concludes that the two medications are different when they are not.

By comparing the exact definition of Type I Error and the example shown with the statement presented in the question, we conclude that this statement is false, as it does not match the true concept of that type of error.

Type I error is also called false positive, which is the error that is incurred when the researcher rejects the so-called null hypothesis (that hypothesis that is created with the mission of rejecting and therefore supporting an alternative hypothesis), being in effect and on the contrary valid the same in the population studied.

Then, the statement is False.

Hope this helps!

As per the given description, the strategy that the commercial fisherman can employ to ensure the sustenance of population of tuna fishes in long-term would be 'catching only the old fish past their reproductive age' as it would give time and space to tuna population present in the water to reproduce and multiply its population in the meantime. This technique is recognized as 'purse seining' where the fisherman would target the old fishes and reduce the bycatch of tuna fishes so that its over-exploitation could be held for a while and give them required time to regain their population.
