Question

An appliance manufacturer claims to have developed a new toaster oven that consumes an average of no more than 250 W. From previous studies, it is believed that power consumption for toaster ovens is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 18 W. A consumer group suspects the actual average is more than 250 W. They take a sample of 16 toaster ovens and calculate the average consumption to be 260 W. Answer the following questions:

1. Would you reject the Null at 1% level of significance?

2. Would you say the toaster oven consumes more than 250 W of power if you are willing to commit a Type 1 Error of 2.5%?

3. What is the cut-off Watts at 2.5% level of significance?

4. In reality, suppose the average power consumption is 265 W. What is the Type II error when Type I error is set at 2.5%?

5. What is the cut-off Watts at 1% level of significance?

6. In reality, suppose the average power consumption is 265 W. What is the Type II error when Type I error is set at 1%?

7. Based on these calculations, what happens to Type II error if Type I error is lowered?

8. Based on these calculations, what happens to Type I error if Type II error is increased?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
