According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 31% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 500 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a higher proportion of identity theft than 31%? State the type I and type II errors in this case, consequences of each error type for this situation, and the appropriate alpha level to use.
