A smoke alarm is supposed to make noise when there is a fire and stay silent when there is no fire. Designers of a smoke detector would use the following hypotheses: HO: There is no fire. HA: There is a fire. If you were designing a smoke detector, would you want to pick a large alpha or small alpha? O A Type I error is worse than a Type Il error, so I would pick a large alpha. O A Type I error is worse than a Type Il error, so I would pick a small alpha. O A Type II error is worse than a Type I error, so I would pick a large alpha. O A Type II error is worse than a Type I error, so I would pick a small alpha. 7. Prop XYZ is coming up on the ballot. A polling agency takes a random sample and finds that the 52% of those surveyed support the proposition with a margin of error of 4%. What best describes what this means?
