Practice #2: The drying time of a type of paint under specified test conditions is 62 minutes. Chemists proposed a new additive designed to decrease the average drying time. The additive is somewhat expensive. a. What hypotheses should you use to test this claim about the paint with the new additive? (Set the hypotheses up, but we will not perform a test) b. Explain what a Type I error and Type II error would be in this case (explain in context of the problem). Which one do you think is worse and why? We may be able to accept either answer based on your explanation.
