Question 665069: DESCRIBE what a type I and TYPE II error would be for each of the following null hypotheses:
(A) Ho: There is no difference in statistics texts. (Points:8)
(B) WRITE a correct null and alternative hypothesis that tests the claim that the mean distance a student commutes to campus is less than 10.1 miles.(Points:6)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now my answers are(A)TypeI error is like wrongly reject the null to use the Alternativeand Type II error is you go ahead and use it without checking the first one first. (B)please correct me if I am wrong: Ho:mean>_ 10.1 and Alternative is Ha: mean< 10.1
Thanks in advance for any help!!!!

DESCRIBE what a type I and TYPE II error would be for each of the following null hypotheses:
(A) Ho: There is no difference in statistics texts. (Points:8)
Type I You incorrectly reject that there is no difference in stat texts,
thus incorrectly concluding there is a difference when in fact there is.
Type II: You incorrectly accept that there is a difference when in fact
there is no difference in the texts.
------------------------------------------
(B) WRITE a correct null and alternative hypothesis that tests the claim that the mean distance a student commutes to campus is less than 10.1 miles.(Points:6)
Ho: u >= 10.1
Ha: u < 10.1 (claim)
