Question 332023: A hotel installs smoke detectors with adjustable sensitivity in all public guest rooms.
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses.
(b) Define Type I and II error.
What are the consequences of each? Answer by jrfrunner(365) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You should set up the hypothesis such that type I errors are worse than type II errors
----
Ho: Not all public guest rooms have smoke detectors with adjustable sensitivity
Ha: All public guest rooms have smoke detectors with adjustable sensitivity
----
Type I error:
Probability(Reject Ho / when Ho is true)
which means you conclude that all guest rooms have the detectors when in fact they all dont.
Consequences: You assume a level of safety that does not exist, which could lead to fire damage, injury and lawsuits.
------
Type II error:
Probability(Accepting Ho / when Ho is false)
which means you conclude that NOT all guest rooms have the detectors when in fact they all do.
Consequences: You incur extra costs,by buying more detectors than you need
