A skeptical paranormal researcher claims that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is less than 2 in a thousand. Identify the type I error for the test. A. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand when that proportion is actually less than 2 in a thousand.
B. Reject the claim that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand when that proportion is actually 2 in a thousand.
C. Reject the claim that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand when that proportion is actually less than 2 in a thousand.
D. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand when that proportion is actually greater than 2 in a thousand.

B. Reject the claim that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand when that proportion is actually 2 in a thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

The type I error is rejection of true null hypothesis.

In the given scenario our hypothesis are

Null hypothesis: The proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand.

Alternative hypothesis: The proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is less than 2 in a thousand.

Type I error is the rejection of true null hypothesis so, in this case type I error is rejection of claim  that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand when that proportion is actually 2 in a thousand.

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
