Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 5 page paper considers the use of statistical testing, the impact of Type I and Type II errors what they could mean in the real world, using the example of testing genetically modified food and then how the potential for each type of error may be reduced. The paper then uses the Three Point Estimate (3PE) to calculate whether or not there is a significant difference between two sets of data. The bibliography cites 3 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
genetically engineered food such as corn, and they hypothesis was that in test subjects eating genetically modified food would increase the incidence of health problems, then rejecting the null hypothesis,
which is that there s not difference in the health of the test subjects means we will accept the hypothesis that there are health problems. In practical terms this
could give us a large level of difficulties with a negative impact. To begin with there would be a major impact on the US where there is already wide
scale use of the genetically modified food. The result may be an attempt to eliminate the food and prevent it getting into the food chain as quickly as possible. This
would mean national panic and a large level of wasted resources as well as a large level of political fall pout where government that have stated these are safe and
former scientific studies appear to be discredited. Even if the results are questioned there will still be fear and the need to protect health will mean that a hold is
put on all production. There are also other potential negative effects, the use of genetically modified food is also great potential to third world countries where there are problems
such as hunger and famine. The development of foods that need lesser levels of water and is more restraint to different challenges, such as pests and the need for fertiliser.
If the food is not shown the be safe then the areas that would benefit from the food will go without and
as such suffer lower yields with non genetically modified food and see the levels of death form famine remain the same or increase, as a result of the inability for
