In the Country A legal system, a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Consider a null hypothesis, Ho, that the defendant is innocent, and an alternative hypothesis, Hy, that the defendant is guilty. A jury has two possible decisions: Convict the defendant (i.e., reject the null hypothesis) or do not convict the defendant (i.e., do not reject the null hypothesis). Explain the meaning of the risks of committing either a Type I or Type Il error in this example. Choose the correct answer below. A. A Type I error would be incorrectly failing to convict the defendant when he is innocent. A Type II error would be incorrectly convicting the defendant when he is guilty. OB. A Type I error would be incorrectly convicting the defendant when he is innocent. A Type II error would be incorrectly failing to convict the defendant when he is guilty. C. A Type I error would be incorrectly convicting the defendant when he is guilty. A Type II error would be incorrectly failing to convict the defendant when he is innocent. D. A Type I error would be incorrectly failing to convict the defendant when he is guilty. A Type II error would be incorrectly convicting the defendant when he is innocent.
