How long will it take people searching for a parking space to realize that they will have to walk a bit to get to the stores? An experiment was set up on a crowded day at a mall. Parking spots close to the stores were filled but on the outskirts of the lot, there were plenty of open spots. When random drivers entered the lot, they were timed as to the amount of time before they realized that they had to park far away from the stores. 55 men took an average of 195 seconds with a standard deviation of 27 seconds. 83 women took an average of 176 seconds with a standard deviation of 43 seconds. Test the premise at the 5% level that men and women will drive around different amount of times before they realize they have to park far away from the stores. What type of error (type 1 or type 2) could you have committed? Explain it in the context of the problem.
