An engineer designing a new type of bridge wants to test the stress and load bearing capabilities of a prototype before beginning construction. Her null hypothesis is that the bridge’s stress and load capabilities are safe. Select which type of error would be worse. Make sure that the type of error is matched with the correct definition. Type I; the engineer does not deem the bridge safe even though it is Type I; the engineer deems the bridge safe and moves onto construction even though it is not actually safe Type II; the engineer does not deem the bridge safe even though it is Type II; the engineer deems the bridge safe and moves onto construction even though it is not actually safe

Type II error.

Explanation:

H1: There is a significant difference between the bridge stress and the load capabilities.

H0: There is no significant difference between the bridge stress and the load capabilities.

There are two type of hypothesis:

Type 1 error occurs when a null hypothesis is true yet it was been rejected

Type 2 error occurs when a null hypothesis is false and you fail to reject it but accept it.

The worse type of error the engineer can make is to jeopardizes the safety of the commuter that will travel on the bridge since quality ,security and standard is a watchword.

The engineer commit Type II; the engineer deems the bridge safe and moves onto construction even though it is not actually safe.
