Question
In the past, the mean running time for a certain type of flashlight battery has been 8.6 hours. The
manufacturer has introduced a change in the production method and wants to perform a hypothesis test to
determine whether the mean running time has increased as a result. The hypotheses are:
Ho: μ = 8.6 hours
Ha:μ > 8.6 hours
where μ is the mean running time of the new batteries
Explain the meaning of a Type II error.
O A. A Type II error would occur if, in fact, μ = 8.6 hours, but the results of the sampling do not lead to
rejection of that fact.
OB. A Type Il error would occur if, in fact, μ> 8.6 hours, but the results of the sampling lead to the
conclusion that μ< 8.6 hours.
O C. A Type II error would occur if, in fact, μ = 8.6 hours, but the results of the sampling lead to the
conclusion that μ> 8.6 hours.
O D. A Type Il error would occur if, in fact, µ> 8.6 hours, but the results of the sampling fail to lead to that
conclusion.
