Reference no: EM13156663

A man on trial is accused of murder in the first degree. The prosecutor presents evidence that he hopes will convince the jury to reject the hypothesis that the man is innocent. This situation can be modeled as a significance test with the following hypotheses:

Ho: The defendant is innocent.
H1: The defendant is not innocent.

Suppose that the null hypothesis is rejected and that an alternate hypothesis is accepted. Discuss the conclusion as a type I error, a type II error, or a correct decision-if in fact the defendant is innocent.
