In fact the sample overrepresented those with high scores


To test the hypothesis in Exercise 1, the admissions counselors select a random sample of freshmen and compare their scores on the SAT to those of the population of upperclassmen. They find that the freshmen do in fact have a higher mean SAT score. However, what they are unaware of is that the sample of freshmen was not representative of all freshmen at Brainy University. In fact, the sample overrepresented those with high scores and under represented those with low scores. What type of error (Type I or Type II) did the counselors make?
