In September 2000, St. George’s Hospital in London was suspended from performing heart transplants because of a sudden spike in the mortality rate. Researchers recorded information from a sample of 361 patients and used this to test whether the mortality rate at St. George’s Hospital was greater than the national rate of 15%. What would a type II error be in this situation?
◦
concluding that the mortality rate at this hospital was more than 15% when in fact the mortality rate was no more than 15%
◦
failing to recognize that the mortality rate at this hospital was more than 15%
◦
concluding that the mortality rate at this hospital was less than 15%
◦
failing to realize that the mortality rate at this hospital was less than 15%
