Instead your friend asked you to rol Conside an n-sided die. Your goal is to determine if your friend also has a 6-sided die; h your die while he secretly rolls his die. Your friend will then tell you the absolute difference between his roll and yours. You have decided to conclude (accept/fail to reject null hypothesis) that your friend's die is 6-sided if the absolute difference is less than or equal to one. What is the Type I error rate for this scenario?

Explanation / Answer

type I error is the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis (also known as a "false positive" finding)

Our null hypothesis is u1-u2 <= 1

Alternative Hypothesis: u1-u2>1

Type I Error occurs when we reject the null hypothesis when in reality, it is true

Thus, in given example Type I error will occur when we will conclude that u1-u2>1 when in reality u1-u2<=1.
