Question
Describe type I and type II errors for a hypothesis test of the indicated claim.
 
A
furniture
store claims that
no more than
25​%
of its new customers will return to buy their next
piece of furniture.
Describe the type I error. Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
A type I error will occur when the actual proportion of new customers who return to buy their next
piece of furniture
is
no more than
0.25​,
but you fail to reject
H0​:
p≤0.25.
 
B.
A type I error will occur when the actual proportion of new customers who return to buy their next
piece of furniture
is
at least
0.25​,
but you fail to reject
H0​:
p≥0.25.
 
C.
A type I error will occur when the actual proportion of new customers who return to buy their next
piece of furniture
is
at least
0.25​,
but you reject
H0​:
p≥0.25.
 
D.
A type I error will occur when the actual proportion of new customers who return to buy their next
piece of furniture
is
no more than
0.25​,
but you reject
H0​:
p≤0.25.
Describe the type II error. Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
A type II error will occur when the actual proportion of new customers who return to buy their next
piece of furniture
is
less than
0.25​,
but you fail to reject
H0​:
p≤0.25.
 
B.
A type II error will occur when the actual proportion of new customers who return to buy their next
piece of furniture
is
more than
0.25​,
but you reject
H0​:
p≥0.25.
 
C.
A type II error will occur when the actual proportion of new customers who return to buy their next
