The percentage of high school students who graduate is equal to 55%.

Identify the type I error. Choose the correct answer below.

A. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of high school students who graduate is less than 55% when that percentage is actually less than 55%.

B. Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of high school students who graduate is equal to 55% when that percentage is actually less than 55%.

C. Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of high school students who graduate is less than 55% when the percentage is actually equal to 55%.

D. Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of high school students who graduate is equal to 55% when the percentage is actually equal to 55%.

Type 1 error:

D) Reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of high school students who graduate is equal to 55 % when that percentage is actually equal to 55 %.

Type 2 error:

B,) Fail to reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of high school students who graduate is equal to 55 % when that percentage is actually less than 55 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

When something that is true, is been rejected, then it's reffered to as Type I, on the other hand when

Whensomething that is false is been failed to be rejected then it's reffered to as that is Type II

Type I;

This is to reject Hypothesis when Hypothesis is true, i. e rejecting of the null when it's true.

For instance from the question,

The percentage of high school students who graduate is equal to 55%. Then to get the Type1, One would say the percentage of high students who graduated is not 55% when it is in actual sense

Type II;

This is happen when we accept a false null hypothesis which means it takes place when We fail to reject Hypothesis when it is False.

For instance, from the question which says The percentage of high school students who graduate is equal to 55%. Then for type II to occur One would say it is 55% when it is really not 55%.
