During а bаsebаll game, a pitcher thrоws a ball tоwards hоme plate. Consider a null hypothesis, , that he pitches a ball not over the plate (a ball), and an alternative hypothesis, , that he pitches the ball directly over the plate (a strike). The home plate umpire has two possible decisions: call the pitch a strike (reject the null hypothesis) or call the pitch a ball (do not reject the null hypothesis). If the umpire makes a Type II error, what happened?
