Trying to figure out exactly what they are asking me to do with the following:

• Discuss the following by giving an example of a false hypothesis that is NOT rejected. What could be the ramifications? 

Remember, when you decide to reject or not reject the null hypothesis, you have four possible scenarios:

a. A true hypothesis is rejected.

b. A true hypothesis is not rejected.

c. A false hypothesis is not rejected.

d. A false hypothesis is rejected.

If a hypothesis is true and you do not reject it (Option 2) or if a false hypothesis is rejected (Option 4), you have made the correct decision. But if you reject a true hypothesis (Option 1) or a false hypothesis is not rejected (Option 3) you

have made an error.
