Essay

In the following scenarios, state which type of error (type 1 or type 2) you would want to change in a hypothesis test to reduce errors.
A)You are investigating an effect of drug A indicated for patients who risk death if not treated. The drug will be used to replace a therapy that has serious side effects. The study is testing the hypotheses:
Null hypothesis: drug A is not effective.
Research hypothesis: drug A is effective.
B)Many studies are investigating different experimental strategies for increasing bone density in osteoporotic women. Suppose a new therapy has been discovered to increase bone density in mice. It is possible that this therapy could be effective in humans.
The study is testing the hypotheses:
Null hypothesis: drug A is not effective.
Research hypothesis: drug A is effective.
