Extracted text: The National Cancer Institute conducted a 2-year study to determine whether cancer death rates for areas near nuclear power plants are higher than for areas without nuclear facilities. A spokesperson for the Cancer Institute said, "From the data at hand, there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities." לי


Extracted text: B. If the National Cancer Institute researchers were incorrect in their conclusion that there is no increased cancer risk associated with living near a nuclear power plant, are they making a Type I or a Type II error? Read carefully and select one of the following: a) A Type II error, if the researchers were incorrect in their conclusion this would be rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true. b) A Type I error, if the researchers were incorrect in their conclusion this would be failing to reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true. c) A Type II error, if the researchers were incorrect in their conclusion this would be failing to reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is false. d) A Type I error, if the researchers were incorrect in their conclusion this would be rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is false.
