Why the null hypothesis is rejected


Discussion:

Q: A man is on trial accused of murder in the first degree. The prosecutor presents evidence that he hopes will convince the jury to reject the hypothesis that the man is innocent. This situation can be modeled as a significance test with the following hypotheses:

Ho: The defendant is innocent

H1: The defendant is not innocent

Suppose that the null hypothesis is rejected and alternate hypothesis is accepted. Discuss the conclusion as a Type I error, a Type II error, or a correct decision, if in fact the defendant is innocent.
