Suppose your null hypothesis is that engineering majors earn more than $80,000. Further, researchers collect and analyze sample data that leads them to fail to reject this null hypothesis. However, in the population, it is true that engineering majors earn less than $80,000. What would we call this error?   a. Type I error   b. Type II error   c. No error occured
