Question

Suppose that, in a hypothesis test, the null hypothesis is in fact true.

a. Is it possible to make a Type I error? Explain your answer.

b. Is it possible to make a Type II error? Explain your answer.

a. Is it possible to make a Type I error?

A. Yes, it is possible. A Type I error is not rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact false.

B. No, it is not possible. A Type I error is not rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact false.

C. Yes, it is possible. A Type I error is rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact true.

D. No, it is not possible. A Type I error is rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact true.

b. Is it possible to make a Type II error?

A. No, it is not possible. A Type II error is not rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact false.

B. No, it is not possible. A Type II error is rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact true.

C. Yes, it is possible. A Type II error is rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact true.

D. Yes, it is possible. A Type II error is not rejecting the null hypothesis when it is in fact false.

The following problem submitted by Daniel Hahn of Blairstown, Iowa, appeared in the Ask Marilyn column of Parade magazine. Source: Parade magazine. You discover two booths at a carnival. Each is tended by an honest man with a pair of covered coin shakers. In each shaker is a single coin, and you are allowed to bet upon the chance that both coins in that booths shakers are heads after the man in the booth shakes them, does an inspection, and can tell you that at least one of the shakers contains a head. The difference is that the man in the first booth always looks inside both of his shakers, whereas the man in the second booth looks inside only one of the shakers. Where will you stand the best chance?
