• Type I error

• Type II error

Not finding convincing evidence for the alternative hypothesis, when in reality the alternative hypothesis is true

• Type I error

• Type II error

Soo Young is an amateur archer and wants to improve. He reads an article online that describes a breathing technique that differs from his normal technique: take a deep breath before lifting the bow and slowly exhale until the shot is released. On a different 20 shots, he will try the new technique. Soo Young will determine the order of the shots at random and record whether or not each shot hit the target. Is there convincing evidence that Soo Young's ability to hit the target is greater with the new technique? The results are displayed in the two-way table.

What are the hypotheses Soo Young wants to test?

• Null: Soo Young has a greater ability to hit the target with the new breathing technique than with the normal breathing technique.

• Null: Soo Young has the same ability to hit the target with the new breathing technique and the normal breathing technique.

• Alternative: Soo Young has the same ability to hit the target with the new breathing technique and the normal breathing technique.

• Alternative: Soo Young has a greater ability to hit the target with the new breathing technique than with the normal breathing technique.

What is the evidence for the alternative hypothesis?

• When using the new breathing technique, Soo Young's hit percentage was 3 percentage points greater than when using his normal technique.

• When using the new breathing technique, Soo Young's hit percentage was 15 percentage points less than when using his normal technique.

• When using the new breathing technique, Soo Young's hit percentage was 15 percentage points greater than when using his normal technique.

• When using the new breathing technique, Soo Young's hit percentage was 3 percentage points less than when using his normal technique.
