Question

A researcher wants to examine if sugar consumption has changed over the last 5 years .

a. Select a group member's post and reply by stating the Type I and Type II error for that scenario.

b. State whether their hypothesis is directional or non-directional.

Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Type I error: If the null hypothesis is rejected when it is true is called Type I error.
  • Type II error: If the null hypothesis is not rejected when it is false is called Type II error.

Direction of hypothesis:

  • If the direction of alternative hypothesis is "not equal to", then it is called non-directional hypothesis.
  • If the direction of alternative hypothesis is "less than" or "greater than", then it is called directional hypothesis.
