Question

Managers at an automobile manufacturing plant would like to examine the mean completion time, μ, of an assembly line operation. The past data indicate that the mean completion time is 43 minutes, but the managers have reason to believe that this value has increased. The managers plan to perform a statistical test.

After choosing a random sample of assembly line completion times, the managers compute the sample mean completion time to be 45 minutes. The standard deviation of the population of completion times can be assumed not to have changed from the previously reported value of 6 minutes.

 

Based on this information, answer the questions below.

What are the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis(H1) that should be used for the test?

H0: μ is
less than
less than or equal to
greater than
greater than or equal to
not equal to
equal to
 
H1: μ is
less than
less than or equal to
greater than
greater than or equal to
not equal to
equal to


In the context of this test, what is a Type I error?

A Type I error is

rejecting

failing to reject

the hypothesis that μ is

less than

less than or equal to

greater than

greater than or equal to

not equal to

equal to

when, in fact, μ is ?

less than

less than or equal to

greater than

greater than or equal to

not equal to

equal to


Suppose that the managers decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might they be making?

Type I

Type II
