The department of natural resources reports that a water supply does not receive a 4-star rating if the fluoride concentration is less than 4%. In this context, what is a Type I error?

natural resource department does not receive a 4 star rating

Step-by-step explanation:

The type I error is also known as the 'false positive'.

It means we means we reject or make an error while the condition or the result is actually true. In other words, we can say that we are rejecting the null hypothesis but the hypothesis is actually true in all populations.

A 'false negative' is considered a type II error.

in the context, the hypothesis is concentration of fluoride in water which should be less than 4%. This is true but the department does not a 4 star rating when the concentration is less than 4% on the water supply. So this is the type I error.

depends on how many days you are talking about
