10.6) Many law enforcement agencies use voice-stress analysis to help determine whether persons under interogation are lying. If the sound of frequency of a persons voice changes when asked a question, the presumption is that the person is being untruthful. For this situation, state the null and alternative hypothesis in verbal terms, then identify what would constitute a Type I error and a Type II error in this situation.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Type I occurs when you reject a null hypothesis that was true.
Type II occurs when you accept a null hypothesis that was false.
The null hypothesis is the basic statement that is true or false for the case.
