A jury must determine the guilt of a criminal defendant (not guilty, guilty). Identify how the jury would make a correct decision. Analyze how the jury would commit a Type I error versus a Type Il error. [In the present justice system an individual is innocent until a proven guilty protocol (the null hypothesis). If the jury commit a Type I error when finding if a defendant is innocent or guilty, they are not accepting (rejecting) the fact that the defendant is innocent hence they are not accepting the null hypothesis and an innocent person will be sentenced for a crime they did not commit. The same is right in Type II errors if the jury accepts the null hypothesis (innocence) then there are chances that a criminal will be set free.] A jury must determine the guilt of a criminal defendant (not guilty, guilty).
