10 o/t points I Previous Answers y Notes We want to test if the Arachnoistasis spider is poisonous. We will assume it is not until we prove otherwise.

Here null hypothess is that the Arachnoistasis spider is not poisonous and alternative hypothesis is that Arachnoistasis spider is poisonous. So here we are taking a 20 dolars bet in a bag full of spiders.

Here Type I error would be when we reject the null hypothesis when it is false. In this case that means we will assume the spiders are poisonous when in reality they are not. That means that will cost us $ 2000.

Type II error would be when we fail to reject the null hypothesis when it is true. In this case that means we will assume the spiders are not poisonous when in reality they are poisonous. That means it will be fatal for s

So here we can see that Type II error is worst because i could die from a spider bite. Option D is correct.
