00:01 So this question of us is that suppose a health professional wishes to test the assumptions that at least 10 % of the residents of a village are dictated to a particular type of country, leco rather, and we are asked to explain when the health professional is going to commit a type 1 error or a type 2 error.
00:20 So before we can be able to talk about the type 1 error or type 2 error, we need to actually get our null and alternative hypothesis, clear.
00:31 According to the researcher to the initial claim h not is that p is greater than or equals to 0 .10 that is 10 percent meaning on average at least 10 percent of the 10 percent of residents of a village are dictated to a particular type of country legal hence the alternative hypothesis is going to go against this sentence by saying h1 subscript to 1 is equal to p lesser than or equals to 0 .10, lesser than 0 .10, rather.
01:05 So this is our null hypothesis here...
