Question
Consumers Energy states that the average electric bill across the state is $67.16. You want to test the claim that the average bill amount is greater than $67.16. The hypotheses for this situation are Null Hypothesis: u = 67.16, Alternative Hypothesis: u > 67.16. If the true statewide average bill is $51.28 and the null hypothesis is not rejected, did a type I, type II, or no error occur?
  a
No error has occurred.
  b
Type I Error has occurred.
  c
Type II Error has occurred.
  d
We do not know the p-value, so we cannot determine if an error has occurred.
