The State Association of Retired Teachers Has Recently Taken Flak $$\begin{array} { l } \mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mathrm { p } = 0.6 \\\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { A } } : \mathrm { p } > 0.6\end{array}$$

question 117

Multiple Choice

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: $$\begin{array} { l } \mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mathrm { p } = 0.6 \\\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { A } } : \mathrm { p } > 0.6\end{array}$$ Define a Type II Error in the context of this problem.

• A) They conclude that more than 60% of the association wants a name change when, in fact, that is not true.
• B) They conclude that more than 60% of the association wants a name change when that is, in fact, true.
• C) They conclude that exactly 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 that is, in fact, true.
