Question

Your principal believe that students spend 2 hours on homework each night. However based on the amount of time you spend on Honors Math 3 you believe it’s more than 2 hours.

What is a Type ll error in this case?

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

A Type II error is a false negative, which is when one fails to reject the null hypothesis when it is actually false. In the context of this problem, the false negative is that the time spent on homework is more than two hours when it was accepted that it was just 2 hours by the principal (aka. the null hypothesis).

Hope that makes sense!
