The State Association of Retired Teachers has recently taken flak from some of its members regarding the poor choice of the association’s name.
The association’s by-laws require that more than 60 percent of the association must approve a name change. Rather than convene a meeting, it is first desired to use a sample to determine if meeting is necessary. Suppose the association decided to conduct a test of hypothesis using the following null and alternative hypotheses: H0: p = 0.6 HA: p > 0.6. Define a Type I Error in the context of this problem.
Choose one answer.
a. They conclude that more than 60% of the association wants a name change when that is, in fact, true.
b. They conclude that exactly 60% of the association wants a name change when that is, in fact, true.
c. They conclude that more than 60% of the association wants a name change when, in fact, that is not true.
d. They conclude that exactly 60% of the association wants a name change when, in fact, that is not true.
