10. Konoha General Hospital is testing a new procedure for treating a certain type of injury. However, the hospital’s surgery review board has to decide whether to approve this type of procedure or not. Many patients with this type of injury generally recover without any treatment and undergoing surgery entails risks.

The board will approve the procedure if the clinical trials show that it would cure at least 60% of all such injuries otherwise they will not approve it. Which of the following is(are) TRUE?

    1. Type I error is committed when they approve the new procedure when in fact it would cure only less than 60% of patients with such injuries.
    2. Type II error is committed when clinical trials show that the new procedure cures at least 60% of patients with such injuries when in fact it can cure less than 60% with such injuries.
