1) Determine the null and alternative hypothesis. 2) Explain what it would mean for the nurse to make a type 1 error.

Null Hypothesis H0 = 5 to 11 years old children who is overwieght is higher than 16%

Alternative Hypothesis Ha= 5 to 11 years old children who is overwieght is not higher than 16%
