Question

      Food inspectors inspect samples of food products to see if they are safe. This can be thought

             of as a hypothesis test with the following hypotheses  

                            : the food is safe

                             :the food is not safe

             The following statement is an example of what type of error? Justify your answer.

              “The sample suggests that the food is not safe, but it actually is safe”

Answer 1

Answer:

The definitions of type I and type II error are,

Type I error is nothing but reject the null hypothesis but actually it is true.

and type II error is nothing but fail to reject the null hypothesis when it is actually false.

Here sample suggests that the food is safe that fails to reject the null hypothesis but actually it is not safe that is actually it is false.

So this is an example of Type II error.
