Question

Tevy reports that individuals who follow her diet plan lose more weight than individuals who follow Jake's diet plan. In actuality, there is no difference in weight loss between those following Tevy's diet plan and those following Jake's diet plan. In this case, Tevy's claim illustrates a ________ error.

Answer 1

The correct solution will be "Type I".

Step-by-step explanation:

• A type I failure is little more than an error that happens that whenever an assumption is violated, even though it may be valid and should not have been turned down mostly during the concept development process.
• A null hypothesis was formulated in statistical analysis before the start of such an experiment.

Hence Tevy's argument shows a mistake of Type I.
