A lab researcher wants to see if Substance X improves or cures COVID-19. They test a random sample of individuals who have COVID-19 in a randomized control trial. Some of the individuals participating are assigned to the control group who receive a placebo, while other participants are assigned to the treatment group receiving Substance X. By doing this, they aim to see if Substance X will improve or cure COVID-19 for this sample. What is the null hypothesis? What would the type 1 and type 2 error results be? Which type of error would have more serious consequences in this case and why?

COVID-19 tests were performed on 300 people. The test is not perfect as it can sometimes show a positive result when the person does not have the virus (false positive) and sometimes show a negative result when the person actually has the virus (false negative). The data below shows the table of tests performed. If a person tests positive, what is the probability that they actually do not have the disease? Has COVID-19 Does not have COVID-19 Test + 183 95.75% 91.58% 79.82% 75.43%
