Suppose that you're going to run a hypothesis test with H subscript o colon space mu subscript 1 minus mu subscript 2 equals 0. Which of the following choices accurately describes the occurrence of a Type I Error? A. In reality, mu subscript 1 space a n d space mu subscript 2 are NOT significantly different, but the hypothesis test has convinced us that they ARE significantly different. B. In reality, mu subscript 1 space a n d space mu subscript 2 ARE significantly different, and the hypothesis test has convinced us that they ARE significantly different. C. In reality, mu subscript 1 space a n d space mu subscript 2 are NOT significantly different, and the hypothesis test has convinced us that they are NOT significantly different. D. In reality, mu subscript 1 space a n d space mu subscript 2 ARE significantly different, but the hypothesis test has convinced us that they are NOT significantly different.
