You can put this solution on YOUR website! We want to conduct a hypothesis test to see if a particular IQ assessment is calibrated
properly, meaning that people’s IQ according to the test is, on average, 100.
(a) What should our null hypothesis and our alternative hypothesis be?
Ho: u = 100
Ha: u is not equal to 100
-------------------------------------
(b) Explain what a type I error and a type II error would represent in terms of the IQ assessment.
Type I: You reject Ho though it is true.
Type II: You fail to reject Ho though it is not true.
