Question

absorption rates into the body are important considerations. When manufacturing a generic version of a brand-name drug. A pharmacist read that the absorption rate into the body of a new generic drug is the same as its brand name counterpart. She has a researcher friend of hers run a small experiment to determine of the mean absorption rates are different. The experiment had 17 participants in each group (generic vs. brand-name). the p-value for the test was 0.0030. what would be the type II error?

Answer 1

we know that type II is the failing to reject the false null hypothesis

alternate hypothesis or hypothesis statement is mean absorption rates are different

So, null hypothesis would be that the mean absorption rates are not different

p value is 0.003, which means rejection of null hypothesis and support the alternate hypothesis statement

Type II error in this

The fact that there is no significant difference between the mean absorption rates, when actually there is a significant difference between the mean absorption rates.
