Find the Type II error given that the null hypothesis, H0, is: there are no more than 15% of structures in the county were built without permits.And, the alternative hypothesis, Ha, is: a building inspector claims that more than 15% of structures in the county were built without permits.
Select the correct answer below:
The building inspector concludes that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, no more than 15% of the structures were built without permits.
The building inspector concludes that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, more than 15% of the structures were built without permits.
The building inspector cannot conclude that more than 15% of the structures in the county were built without permits when, in fact, no more than 15% of the structures were built without permits.
