In 2015, the average math SAT score for students at South Hanover High School was 520. Five years later, a teacher wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average math SAT score of students at the school has changed since 2015. The hypotheses are: Ho :  = 520 Ha :   520 Suppose that the results of the sampling lead to acceptance of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion as a Type I Error, a Type II Error, or a correct decision, if in fact the average math SAT score of students at the school is equal not to 520.

Question

In 2015, the average math SAT score for students at South Hanover High School was 520. Five years
later, a teacher wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average math SAT score of
students at the school has changed since 2015. The hypotheses are:
Ho :  = 520
Ha :   520
Suppose that the results of the sampling lead to acceptance of the null hypothesis. Classify that conclusion
as a Type I Error, a Type II Error, or a correct decision, if in fact the average math SAT score of students at
the school is equal not to 520.
