Question

1. When a new drug is created, the pharmaceutical company must subject it to testing before receiving the necessary permission from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the drug. Suppose the null hypothesis is “the drug isunsafe.” What is the Type II Error?

☐To conclude the drug is safe when in, fact, it is unsafe. (Accept Null)

☐Not to conclude the drug is safe when, in fact, it is safe. (Reject Null)

☐To conclude the drug is safe when, in fact, it is safe.(Accept Null)

☐Not to conclude the drug is unsafe when, in fact, it is unsafe (Reject Null)

Answer 1

Given that

When a new drug is created, the pharmaceutical company must subject it to testing before receiving the necessary permission from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the drug. Suppose the null hypothesis is “the drug is unsafe.”

We have to find the Type II Error:

We know that

The type II error is occurred when we do not reject the null hypothesis(H0) when it is not true.

From given problem, the type II error IS occurred when we do not reject the null hypothesis(H0) that the drug is unsafe, in fact, it is safe.

Therefore we conclude that the drug is safe, in fact, it is safe When the type II error is occurred.

Answer:

Not to conclude the drug is safe when, in fact, it is safe. (Reject Null)

From given options the answer is in "Option - B"

Therefore the "Option - B" is the correct answer.
