50. Carrie is running for mayor in her local city election. In order to win, she must earn over 50% of the votes. ecides to hire a couple of Statistics students to help her measure the progress in her campaign through polling. She is hoping to find sufficient evidence (a=0.05) that she will in fact win the election with more than 50% of the vote. The Statistics students test the following hypotheses, where p represents the proportion of all voters who will vote for Jemmy. which of the following statements would be true if a Type I error is made? (Select all that apply.)
a. Carrie ends up winning the election.
b. The students find a p-value less than 0.05 .
c. Carrie ends up losing the election.
d. The students find a p-value greater than 0.05
e. The students make the conclusion that Carrie does not have more than 50% of the vote.
f. The students make the conclusion that Carrie will have more than 50% of the vote. e.

Null hypothesis is a statement that is to be tested against the alternative hypothesis and then decision is taken whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis.

Type I error is one in which we reject a true null hypothesis.

In the given scenario Type I error will be the one where students incorrectly estimates the p value and reject the null hypothesis when it was true. This error will result in losing the elections.
