Question 888972: In the experiment in Example 4, we got a P-value = 0.000 for testing H0: p = 1/7 about dogs’ ability to diagnose urine from bladder cancer patients.
a. For the significance level 0.05, what decision would you make?
b. If you made an error in part a, what type of error was it? Explain what the error means in context of the Dr. Dog experiment.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! In the experiment in Example 4, we got a P-value = 0.000 for testing H0: p = 1/7 about dogs’ ability to diagnose urine from bladder cancer patients.
a. For the significance level 0.05, what decision would you make?
Ans: Since the p-value is less than 5%, rejec Ho.
--------------------------------------------------------
b. If you made an error in part a, what type of error was it?
Ans: You rejected Ho. That is a Type I error.
----------------------------------------------------
Explain what the error means in context of the Dr. Dog experiment.
You rejected the Ho-hypothesis that the dogs abiltiy was random.
If your rejection is an error, you failed to realize that the dog's
dianosis ability is random.
