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.\n\n$h_0$: the food is safe\n\n$h_a$: the food is not safe\n\nthe following is an example of what type of error?\n\nthe sample suggests that the food is safe, but it actually is not safe.\n\no type i\n\no type ii\n\no not an error
Answer
Brief Explanations:
In hypothesis - testing, a Type I error occurs when we reject the null hypothesis ($H_0$) when it is actually true. A Type II error occurs when we fail to reject the null hypothesis when it is false. Here, the null hypothesis $H_0$ is that the food is safe. The sample suggests the food is safe (failing to reject $H_0$), but it is actually not safe ($H_0$ is false), which is a Type II error.
Answer:
type II
