A new oral antibiotic used to relieve acne is being tested. If it is found to be effective in more than 60% of patients (the success rate for the leading topical treatment), antibiotic use will be recommended as the first treatment. If a test is conducted on the claim that the proportion of patient success for the oral antibiotic is more than 60%, which of the following would be considered a Type II Error?
a) The oral antibiotic is found to be less effective and is not recommended as first treatment, but it actually is less or equally as effective as the topical treatment.
b) The oral antibiotic is found to be more effective and is recommended as first treatment, but it actually is more effective than the topical treatment.
c) The oral antibiotic is found to be more effective and is recommended as first treatment, but it actually is less or equally as effective as the topical treatment.
d) The oral antibiotic is found to be less or equally as effective and is not recommended as first treatment, but it actually is more effective than the topical treatment.
