Question

BONUS s each attempted 10 times to detect a young girl's human energy field. Overall, If a practitioner is simply guessing, she should successfully detect the In an experiment to determine whether a practitioner has therapeutic touch (TT), 15 practitioners there were 150 trials. rgyteld 50% of the time. If she has TT, she should detect the energy field more than half of the time. S uppose we write the following hypotheses. Ho: p 0.5 (The practitioner does not have therapeutic touch.) HA: P> 0.5 CThe practitioner does have therapeutic touch.) The test rejects the null test statistic is as follows. hypothesis at the 5% significance level when z > 1.645, where the 0.5 0.5 150 a. In the context of this problem, what is a Type I error? the context of this problem, what is a Type II error?

Explanation / Answer

a)type I error : as type I error is to reject the null hypothesis when in actual it is true

threfore in context of given problem type I error is to conclude that practitioner does not have therapeutic touch while in actual she has TT.

b) Type II error is fail to reject the null hypothesis when in actual it is false

therefore in the context of problem type II problem is fail to  conclude that practitioner does not have therapeutic touch while in actual she does not have  therapeutic touch.
